An Ancaster motorist is recovering from serious injuries in a Hamilton hospital after he was apparently driven off the road by a confrontation with a large owl on rural roads Thursday morning. It happened around 1 a.m. on Sulphur Springs Road near Dundas. The vehicle, a Lexus SUV, flipped and crashed into a tree near a sharp bend. The man was trapped in his car for about half an hour before fire crews managed to cut him out. Police originally believed the car hit a deer before crashing but have now confirmed that it was an owl. They are asking anyone who may have witnessed the crash to contact them.
