Police were called around 6:30pm to the intersection of Kimball Rd. and LaSalle Line.

A Dodge Caravan travelling east on LaSalle Line swerved from the travelled portion of the road onto the boulevard and hit a hydro pole.

The 61-year-old male driver says a dog entered his path and he attempted to avoid striking the animal.
