Truck drives into ditch after striking utility pole on Bayview Avenue, police say

Emergency crews were called to the area of Bayview Avenue and Rosedale Valley Road Sunday afternoon after a pickup truck crashed into a ditch.

Police say the truck hit a utility pole shortly before 2:30 p.m. before veering off the road.

The pole was knocked down and was briefly blocking a southbound lane on Bayview Avenue until it was removed by first responders.

Toronto paramedics say they transported one man to a trauma centre with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

No other details were immediately available.
