One man's been taken to hospital in Thunder Bay after a van collided with a tractor-trailer east of Marathon yesterday.
Marathon/Manitouwadge OPP say officers responded to the collision on Highway 17 near Rouse Lake - about 20 kilometres east of the town - shortly before 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, with investigation determining the van had crossed the center line into the opposite lane, colliding with the tractor-trailer.
The van's driver - identified as a 62-year-old Marathon man - was taken to hospital and later transferred to Thunder Bay for treatment of "major injuries", while the tractor-trailer's driver was released after being treated for minor injuries at the local hospital.
