Police said bales of hay fell off a vehicle without the driver noticing and numerous collisions were caused when people swerved to try and avoid them.
In an update later on Saturday, police said four people in total were taken to hospital. A 48-year-old man had life-threatening injuries, and three other people had non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said the investigation would include the vehicle carrying bales of hay originally.
