Driver walks away from crash The driver of this Toyota Tundra amazingly walked away from this accident on Armstrong Avenue in Georgetown yesterday (Thursday) at approximately 4 p.m. The vehicle was traveling eastbound before it skidded across the lawn at Olon Industries, dislodged a large landscaping rock and collided with a transport truck in the driveway.

Environment Canada had issued a tornado watch warning for Halton Hills and many surrounding areas Wednesday afternoon but the nearest report of a tornado touching down was in Guelph. Acton area resident Kim Kirk of Hwy. 25 was shocked to find a 60 ft. maple tree across her driveway after the storm Wednesday night. "The roots were lifted right out of the ground," said Kirk. All that's left in the ground is a gaping hole. The strong winds also tossed her screen gazebo about 100 ft. across her front lawn and "bent it like a pretzel," she said.
