While the cause of the crash is still under investigation, a thunder storm had just rolled through the area prior to the collision.
Highway 17 was also closed just west of the Jones Road intersection yesterday afternoon for a couple of hours.
A pick-up truck went of the north side of the road and down an embankment.
Kenora's Fire and Emergency Services was called out to help get the two
occupants out.
They sustained only minor injuries.
