A woman died and five others were injured, including a child, in a two-vehicle collision in North Uxbridge on Monday afternoon, Durham Regional Police say.
Acting Duty Insp. Rob Williamson told Global News officers found four injured people in one vehicle and two injured people in a second vehicle.
A 32-year-old woman died from her injuries in the crash, Williamson said. Two others from the vehicle suffered life-threatening injuries and the fourth suffered non-life-threatening injuries, he said.
One of the critically injured passengers is an 18-month-old child, Williamson said. Police said in an updated news release on Tuesday that the baby was a boy.
Police also said the second critically injured passenger was a 29-year-old woman.
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.
Emergency services, including two air ambulances, responded to the crash northeast of Toronto.
Ornge Air told Global News a pediatric patient was taken to SickKids with critical injuries and a female patient in her 20s was taken to St. Mike’s with critical injuries.
While there has been no confirmation on what caused the collision, Global News learned that investigators will be looking at all factors.
