A busy south Barrie intersection has reopened after a crash that lifted an SUV off the ground.

The crash between the SUV and transport truck happened on Wednesday afternoon at the intersection of Mapleview Drive East and the Highway 400 northbound on-ramp.

"Our driver was making a left turn on Mapleview onto the 400 north. It's a double turning lane. He was doing his correct turn, as we watched the car decided not to make a left hand turn and decided to go straight, and then drove under our trailer," says Mariano Pacheo, a transport truck driving instructor with Transport Training Centres of Canada.

A portion of the SUV was embedded in the side of the transport, which caused the vehicle to be lifted nearly 45 degrees off the ground.

Two adults and a one-year-old baby were in the SUV. Barrie police say it’s remarkable no one was hurt.

"The officers on scene were shocked that there were no injuries and very fortunate that there were no injuries,” says Barrie police Const. Sarah Bamford. “Nine times out of 10 small compact vehicles don't always win when there is a collision with a transport truck."

Police have since charged the driver of the SUV with careless driving.
