(BRACEBRIDGE, ON)- On May 26, 2014 at approximately 10:00 p.m. officers from the Bracebridge Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Muskoka Medavie Service (EMS) and Bracebridge Fire Department (BFD) responded to a single vehicle rollover on Highway 11.
From the initial investigation conducted at the scene, it would appear that a northbound Ford Focus was travelling on the inside lane north of High Falls road when a moose stepped out into the live lane. The driver of the Ford struck the moose head-on causing the vehicle to roll over coming to rest in the median.
The highway was closed for a short time while emergency crews responded to the collision.
The male driver and female passenger were transported to South Muskoka Memorial Hospital (SMMH) for medical treatment.
A short time earlier Huntsville OPP also responded to a similar call on Muskoka Road 117 involving a Moose and single motor vehicle.
Police are reminding motorists to keep watch for animals crossing our roadways. Be safe, arrive alive.
