One person taken to hospital following Sir John A Macdonald Boulevard collision

Kingston Police are advising the public to expect a prolonged closure of Sir John A Macdonald Boulevard following a serious collision that sent one person to hospital.

At approximately 9:52 a.m. on Tuesday, Mar. 28, 2023, the single vehicle collision occurred on Sir John A Macdonald Boulevard near the intersection with Glengarry Road. A hydro pole was toppled during the collision, leading to the need for Utilities Kingston to attend the scene alongside Kingston Police, Kingston Fire and Rescue, and Frontenac Paramedic Services.
