OFR says that both occupants of the pick-up were able to walk away without any injuries to report.
Following the accident, OFR posted on Facebook reminding drivers to follow these safety protocols while on the road:
- Practice defensive driving – Drive at controllable speeds, be prepared to react to other drivers, and stay focused on the road while you’re behind the wheel.
- Always look ahead – Scan the road half to a full mile ahead to tell if you’ll need to let go of the gas pedal and prepare for a stop.
- Don’t follow too closely – Keep a 3-4 second gap. Look ahead for a stationary object, as soon as the car ahead of yours passes the object, start counting the seconds until you pass the same object.
