Bell Aliant Truck on Roof N Front of RCMP Station

Engine 6 & Rescue 4, 2 Ambulances and Codiac R.C.M.P. Officers responded to a call for a Truck on it's roof in front of the R.C.M.P. Station on Main Street and Steadman, and that the driver was trapped and all they could see was his leg hanging out of the door at 1:40 P.M. It only took a few minutes for Firefighters to get the man out of the vehicle. Firefighters & Paramedics back boarded the driver of the Bell Aliant Truck and he was transported to hospital. There were tools and supplies all over the pavement that flew from the truck. 2 lanes of Main Street was completely blocked off from Lewis to Steadman and Police were rerouting the traffic to side streets. 2 tow trucks were needed to clear the accident scene and road conditions were dry at the time of the accident. 2nd Ambulance responded but didn't appear to be needed for driver of the car. Ironic that the competition drives by during the accident , kind of reminded me of the Pepsi Coke commercials on T.V. Snow in the forecast for the Hubcity for a 3 P.M. start and it started at 2:50 P.M.

With all the debris flying out of the Bell truck, it is quite amazing no passers-by were struck & injured.

ATTENTION Bell users. I just thought that bell users should no how Bell really works.

My Dad passed away last year 2010, Since then Bell Alaint keeps calling her widow my mother and asking to speak with my deceased Dad...Bell Alaint was told the first time they called the situation.The 2nd time they called, They informed his widower that they were in contact with her husband and were trying to reach him again. After that they called 2 more times I had to threaten to file harrassment charges.sad
