A teenager was charged with careless driving following a collision on the Highway 144 bypass just south of Chelmsford on Sept. 8.

The Ontario Provincial Police said a 17-year-old driver from Cascaden Township crossed the centre line and collided head-on with a southbound dump truck around 9:50 a.m.

The teen was the only occupant of the vehicle and was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

One lane of traffic was closed for a short period of time to allow crews to remove the vehicles and debris from the roadway.
