RCMP have laid charges following a single-vehicle crash on the QEII Highway this week.

It was just after 7 p.m. on Oct. 27 (Wednesday) when Innisfail RCMP members were dispatched to a single tractor trailer rollover on the highway, just south of town.

The vehicle was heading south and flipped on its side, blocking both southbound lanes, police say.

The lone male driver was treated on scene for his injuries and released by EMS.

However, the 35-year-old male who is from Winnipeg is now charged with operating a motor vehicle transporting goods without securing goods properly. The charge is under the Vehicle Equipment Regulation.
