From Bracebridge OPP
Bracebridge Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a multi-vehicle collision that caused an hours-long closure of Highway 400 in Georgian Bay Township.
On August 1, 2024, at 10:00 p.m., Bracebridge OPP officers, along with Georgian Bay Fire Department and Muskoka EMS, responded to multiple 9-1-1 calls reporting a collision on Highway 400 near Lake Joseph Road in Georgian Bay Township. Witnesses reported that a northbound vehicle left the roadway and came to rest in the southbound lanes, causing a collision with another vehicle. The investigation revealed that the 20-year-old driver of the car had inappropriately attempted to utilize an emergency vehicle turnaround and lost control. He has been charged under the Highway Traffic Act.
Bracebridge OPP would like to remind drivers to be cautious and follow all of the rules of the road; even minor collisions can cause unnecessary, lengthy delays on busy Muskoka roads.
