One person has been charged after a fiery crash that closed Highway 17 in the Dryden area on Tuesday.

Dryden OPP said they were called to the scene between Johnston Road and Glengold Road just after 10 a.m.

A commercial motor vehicle had rolled over and caught fire, spewing thick black smoke into the air.

Police said both people in the vehicle were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A 38-year-old from Guelph has been charged with dangerous operation causing bodily harm.

The accused is scheduled to appear in court in late August.
