Northumberland OPP – Update – Charges Laid Following Serious Collision On County Road 2 In December

In Police Blotter

On Thurday December 19, 2019 shortly after 8:00 pm officers from the Northumberland Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) along with Northumberland EMS and the Hamilton Township Fire Department responded to a serious two vehicle collision on County Road 2 between Apple Orchard Road and Lovshin Road just west of the town of Cobourg.

The collision involved a white Chrysler passenger van that was travelling westbound and a black Chevrolet SUV that was travelling eastbound. Both drivers were transported to a local area hospital to be treated for injuries. The driver of the passenger van was later air lifted to a Toronto area hospital with serious injuries.

County Road 2 was closed for several hours while OPP members trained in collision reconstruction measured and documented the scene.

As a result of the investigation Scotland WHARRAM (age 48) of Cobourg, Ontario was charged under the Criminal Code of Canada with:

Operation Causing Bodily Harm

The accused was released and is scheduled to appear in court on a later date this year.
