Shortly before 10 p.m. on Feb. 8, police were called to the scene of the collision at the rail crossing on Queen Street, on the outskirts of the community.
Police say the vehicle was travelling southbound, approaching the intersection of Queen Street and Highway 39 when it became stuck in the snow while crossing the railway crossing.
