Highway 17 was closed both east and west of Espanola yesterday due to vehicular incidents. A 29-year-old man has died following a fatal industrial crash Wednesday afternoon on Powerhouse Road near the Wabagishik Power Plant. His name is not being released out of respect for the family’s wishes. Greater Sudbury Police say the man was driving what appears to have been a crane that slid off the road just north of the plant, near the Lorne Falls Road turnoff. Investigators are still trying to determine a cause, but it’s unclear if the weather played a role in the crash.
