Truck slams into house at Plank and Lasalle
June 26, 2022
It appears no one was seriously injured after a pickup truck struck a house at the corner of Lasalle Line and Plank Road Saturday.
Sometime after 11 pm, Lambton OPP were called to the corner and found the four door pickup truck had hit the building. The truck seemed to suffer most of the damage.
The driver fled the truck when police arrived. While not officially confirmed by OPP, sources say the man was arrested later in the evening in a nearby field near Telfer Sideroad.
