[guest]

Fire crews were tackling a pair of incidents sure to snarl the Monday morning commute, including a car that flipped and landed on Brown’s Inlet in the Glebe and hanging power lines in the Carp area.

Firefighters confirmed that no one was trapped after being called at about 8:30 a.m. to the car reportedly on its roof at Queen Elizabeth Drive near Bank Street but asked that motorists slow down and move over as first responders tackled the crash.

Meanwhile, they were dealing with a damaged hydro pole with hanging wires on Donald B. Munro Drive between Carp Road and Salisbury Street. Motorists were asked to find another route and warned to avoid downed power lines.
