A small car traveling south on Sidneys Road lost control and crossed into the oncoming lane striking a large delivery truck head-on. The car spun and went under the truck causing further damage to the small vehicle, then left the roadway and struck a guide wire before stopping in a yard. The northbound truck also left the roadway north of the collision site. The 26 year old female driver of the car suffered multiple non-life threatening injuries. A 3 year old child in the back seat suffered minor injuries, which were contributed to the fact she was secured in a child safety seat. The driver of the truck also suffered minor injuries.
