He suffered non-life threatening injuries and was taken to hospital in Fort Francesfor treatment.
The Watten Volunteer Fire Department was called out to the scene to help contain the spill of diesel from the ruptured fuel tanks.
A 53 year old man has been charged with failing to stop for a stop sign and failing to maintain a daily log.
