An OPP officer and a farmer have both been charged in an incident last weekend that saw a police cruiser hit the ditch along Courtright Line in Enniskillen Township.
Last Saturday around 9 pm officers responding to an urgent call came upon a farm vehicle pulling a wagon without rear trailer lights or markers.
The officer took evasive action to avoid hitting the wagon but his cruiser entered the south ditch and rolled over coming to rest on its roof.
The officer and his Auxilliary OPP passenger were treated at hospital for minor injuries and released. The vehicle sustained extensive damage.
Sergeant Dave Rektor calls it a case of two wrongs.
Constable Thomas Vanboven, a six year member of the force is charged with Careless Driving.
