Guelph police responded to 17 motor vehicle collisions during the weekend’s winter storm and clean-up afterwards.
Only two of the collisions resulted in minor injuries.
Just after 8 a.m. Saturday, police were called to Edinburgh Road South and Municipal Street, where a snow plow struck and sheared off a hydro pole. Traffic in the area was affected for several hours as crews replaced the pole.
Approximately 30 minutes later, police were called to assist after a snow plow struck a gas meter at a commercial plaza on Victoria Road North at Grange Road. Access to the plaza was restricted for more than two hours while the broken meter was repaired. No injuries were reported.
