On April 22, 2010, at about 1:30pm, Portage la Prairie RCMP responded to a single vehicle collision on Royal Road and Crescent Road east in Portage la Prairie.
Portage la Prairie RCMP attended the location with Portage Emergency Services.
Investigation at the scene revealed that a 66-year-old male from Portage la Prairie, who was the lone occupant of a Toyota truck, lost control of the truck while turning west onto Crescent Road from the four-way stop on Royal Road south. The truck went up onto the north sidewalk, striking a traffic sign and decorative light post, before coming to a stop against the front porch of a residence on Crescent Road.
The male driver was taken to Portage General Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Alcohol was not a factor.
RCMP continue to investigate.
