Oxford County OPP are investigating after a tractor trailer collided with a prisoner transport van on Friday.
On Friday at around 4pm, OPP responded to the scene of a two-vehicle collision on Hwy. 401 EB just west of Sweaburg Rd. in South-West Oxford Township.
Police say the van, which was travelling eastbound in the third lane (shoulder lane), slowed down because of traffic and was rear ended by a tractor trailer.
