A single car accident occurred at 167th and Kedzie, in Markham on Friday after a driver swerved to avoid another car before ending up in a ditch colliding with a utility pole. The driver was extricated and transferred to a medivac for the trip to an area hospital.
Somehow Tim Olk was at that scene in time to see the helicopter land to pickup the patient.
