Moose FM CKLP 103.3 - Parry Sound

Police continue to investigate a serious collision that closed Highway 69 yesterday.  Witnesses told 9-1-1 yesterday that a camper van was travelling south on the highway in Wallbridge Township when it veered off the road and into a rock cut.  An 80-year-old man from Kitchener had to be removed from the van and was taken to Sudbury Science North Health Centre with life-threatening injuries while his 76-year-old brother was taken to West Parry Sound Health Centre in similar condition.  Once at WPSHC, the brother's condition got worse so he was sent to a Toronto hospital.  The investigation continues into the cause of the crash.

A Seguin man is charged with assault with a weapon and uttering threats.  West Parry Sound OPP got a 9-1-1 call from a woman last Wednesday afternoon saying that her neighbour came at her, yelling threats and swinging an axe.  When police arrived, the neighbour was in his garage and officers say he was very drunk with an axe leaning up against a wall.  The 65-year-old man was arrested and charged.
