(St. John’s, NL) October 11, 2024 – The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) is seeking information following a two-vehicle collision in Mount Pearl.

Just before 7:30 a.m. today, Operational Patrol Services and RNC collision analysts responded to a motor vehicle collision on Topsail Road between Beclin Road and Thomas Byrne Drive.

It appears as though an SUV struck a small car before striking a utility pole. There was significant damage to the SUV and moderate damage to the car. One driver was sent to hospital for treatment of minor injuries. The road which had been closed for a period of time has since re-opened.

Collision analysts are now working to determine the cause of the crash.

Anyone with information, or video footage (CCTV or dash camera) from the area in the lead up to, or immediately following the collision, is asked to contact the RNC at 709-729-8000. To report anonymously, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or visit www.nlcrimestoppers.com.
