From what I have gleaned from facebook, it sounds like he'll be alright and might even be home for Christmas.
Here's hoping; Speedy recovery, Mike!
Man airlifted to hospital after vehicle collides with train near New Hamburg
Robert Wilson/Record...
PERTH COUNTY – A Petersburg man has been airlifted to hospital after his car collided with a train on a farm west of New Hamburg.
The crash happened at around 9:15 a.m. on the laneway of a dairy farm that intersects with the train line, Perth County OPP said.
The single locomotive was headed east at around the permitted speed when it collided with a car driven by a man in his 30s, police said.
The man had to be freed from the vehicle by Perth East firefighters, police said. He was taken by helicopter to London Health Sciences Centre with non-life threatening injuries.
Police said the man was a worker at the farm. There are no barriers or lights at the crossing because it’s on private property, but signs are posted, police said.
OPP officers are still investigating to determine the cause of the crash.
