Two people were rushed to hospital with serious injuries early Tuesday afternoon following a collision north of London involving an SUV and a farm tractor.
The collision happened around noon in the area of Adelaide Street North and Elginfield Road, provincial police said.
Few details about the incident are known. The injured parties were the lone occupants of the vehicles involved, police said.
Elginfield was closed for several hours through the area but reopened to traffic around 6:30 p.m.
Unspecified charges are pending in the collision, said OPP Cst. Chad Murray
Provincial police also responded to a second collision around 2 p.m. along the westbound lanes of Hwy. 401.
That collision occurred in a construction zone between Putnam and Elgin roads and involved as many as four or five vehicles, including a tractor-trailer.
No serious injuries were reported, and charges are also pending, Murray said.
“The only thing that I would like to remind motorists of is that this is a construction zone, and we do need to exude an extreme amount of patience in these areas, especially at this time of year when the construction is happening,” he said.
