Two people were sent to hospital after a head-on collision in southeast Edmonton late Wednesday morning.
Police said the crash happened on 17 Street north of Whitemud Drive at around 11 a.m. One person with non-life-threatening injuries and another one with undetermined injuries were taken to hospital.
The EPS Major Collision Investigations Unit was called in to investigate the collision. As of noon, part of 17 Street just north of Whitemud Drive was closed in both directions.
The road reopened shortly before 4 p.m.
The crash appeared to be between a car and a pickup truck. Video from the scene showed a maroon car on one side of the street and the pickup in the opposite ditch.
Police said the closure does not affect access points to the Maple Ridge neighbourhood, which can still be approached from the north via Sherwood Park Freeway.
On Wednesday afternoon, police said both people involved in the crash had serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
