OPP say the driver of that transport that smashed through guardrails at the Highway 11 and 17 intersection yesterday morning has been charged.
A tractor trailer transporting non-hazardous material travelling westbound on Highway 17 took the southbound ramp onto Highway 11 but flipped over the railing and down a steep embankment.
The North Bay Fire Department used the Jaws of Life to extricate the driver from the vehicle. He sustained non-life threatening injuries and was taken to hospital by the North Bay and District Ambulance Service.
The driver, a 70 year old male from Gatineau, Quebec, was charged with careless driving.

The ramp will be closed sometime today (Tuesday) to remove the tractor trailer.
