CRASH: Police urged motorists to stay away from a Gravenhurst intersection for a few hours Friday after a transport truck crashed into a house at the corner of John Street South and Sharpe West. It’s believed the driver had a medical issue. No one in the house was hurt, but the home and truck sustained damage. Police say the 54 year old driver was transported to Bracebridge Hospital with vital signs absent and was later pronounced dead. From reports at the scene, the driver was in the process of backing the truck into an unloading dock, became incapacitated and the truck rolled down towards a house, travelling thru the four-way stop, coming to rest along the side of the residence. It all happened just after 10:30am. The man's name hasn't been released pending notification of next of kin.
