Quite the fright for a driver after a pole dislodged from a truck and skewered a car.
OPP say they're investigating after the incident yesterday when the pole came loose from a transport truck and sliced into a car south of London, Ont., narrowly missing the driver.
Police say it happened at about 11 a.m. on Monday in Central Elgin, Ont.
Photos from the scene show a large metal pole going through the windshield of a car, passing right beside the driver's side head rest and coming out the back of the car.
Officers say the driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
They say the investigation is ongoing, but note that the truck driver could be charged with carrying an unsafe load.
