An 86-year-old and an 87-year-old from the second vehicle were taken to hospital as well, but are both in “good condition,” Williamson said, adding the pair should be released from hospital.
The collision happened at the intersection of Sandford Road and Concession Road 6 just after 2 p.m. Monday between a white Cadillac SUV that had the two occupants inside and a white Subaru SUV that had four occupants inside.
Durham Regional Police said the crash had closed the intersection and officers asked the public to avoid the area.
