MOTORIST INJURED IN BUCKLEY LINE ACCIDENT

A motorist has been taken to hospital after a crash on the Buckley Line Road Friday evening.

The driver of a Subaru Legacy slammed into a lamp post after losing control of the vehicle shortly before 8:30.

The force of the collision snapped the post in two and left the car perched on the side of the road.

The driver reportedly fled the scene before police arrived.

Minutes later, another motorist, who was driving a Honda Fit, crashed into the downed pole as he met upon the crash scene.

He was taken to hospital with minor injuries; the car was extensively damaged.
