UPDATE
HWY 89 CLOSED
- Roads Reopened(TOWN OF MINTO, ON) - OPP cruiser struck while on traffic stop outside Harriston, closing Highway 89 between Harriston and Mount Forest. Roads have reopened.
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 was closed between Harriston and Mount Forest as a result of the collision, alongside Minto Line 12, 10 th Line and Wellington Road 2, but all have since reopened and traffic can resume as normal.
