The driver of a transport truck was killed after his vehicle fell into a three-metre-deep sinkhole caused by once-in-a-century rainfall and flooding outside London, Ont.
Ontario Provincial Police said the collision in Glencoe killed the 59-year-old driver from Mississauga when a section of Dundonald Road, the main thoroughfare in the town, collapsed.
Environment Canada is calling the isolated dump of rain Wednesday night southwest of London a one-in-100-year event that’s left homeowners with soaked basements and drivers still stunned by the closure of a major highway.
The weather service said just over 135 millimetres of rain fell in a short period of time, with more rain in the forecast Thursday.
