***UPDATED***

Portage la Prairie RCMP are investigating a motor vehicle mishap that happened this morning on Saskatchewan Avenue, in the city's east end.

A truck crashed into the Manitoba Hydro sub-station fence between 7 and 8:30.

Constable Sean O'Keefe stresses the investigation's not complete, and details are still being gathered.

However, he says it appears the driver of a truck pulling a trailer had to swerve to avoid another vehicle that was too close in the merge lane, and lost control.

O'Keefe adds the driver wasn't injured, and no charges are expected.

No damage estimate's available.
