An officer with the Sault Ste Marie Detachment of the OPP had to do some serious swerving last night to avoid yet another hazard on Hwy 17.

At about 10:00 p.m. last night the officer was traveling on Hwy 17 in the area of Pumpkin Point Road in Laird Township. The officer suddenly came upon a man standing in the middle of the roadway. The officer swerved to avoid hitting the man but the man didn’t appear to make an attempt to get out of the way.

Further investigation revealed the man was in need of a psychiatric assessment. A fifty eight year old British Columbia man was taken to Sault Area Hospital and admitted to the hospital for the necessary assistance.
