OPP Cruiser Struck on Traffic Stop
(TOWN OF MINTO, ON) - OPP cruiser struck while on traffic stop outside Harriston, closing Highway 89 between Harriston and Mount Forest.
On April 2, 2026, at approximately 7:30 am, a two motor-vehicle collision occurred on Highway 89, involving two pick-up trucks sideswiping each other, while going northbound and southbound. As a result of the collision, a flatbed trailer, which was being towed by one of the pick-up trucks, dislodged and propelled into a nearby Wellington County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) cruiser, which was on an unrelated traffic stop on Highway 89, just north of Harriston.
As a result of the multi-vehicle collision, no injuries were reported. Damage was sustained to both pick-up trucks, to the dislodged trailer, and minor damage occurred to the OPP cruiser.
The vehicle that was pulled over by the OPP was not damaged and no injuries were reported either.
Highway 89 is currently closed between Harriston and Mount Forest, as a result of the active investigation, with the following road closures:
- Northbound and Southbound lanes of Highway 89 between Harriston and Mount Forest
- Highway 89 and Minto Line 12
- Highway 89 and 10th Line
- Highway 89 and Wellington Road 2
The investigation is still ongoing. Information will be provided when available.
