Five people were taken to hospital, including two who were airlifted, after a serious multi-vehicle crash in Caledon on Friday, officials say.
Ontario Provincial Police said the five-vehicle crash happened on Highway 10 at around 6:35 a.m. The road was closed between Olde Base Line Road and Charleston Side Road after the collision.
Police said five people were injured, two of whom were taken to a trauma centre with life-threatening injuries. The other three had minor injuries.
Peel Paramedics told Global News all five were taken to hospital — two were airlifted to a trauma centre and three went to a local hospital.
Paramedics said two other people on scene were not injured and refused assessment.
There is no word on what may have led to the crash, though a witness told Global News one of the vehicles involved was swerving in and out of the centre lane prior to the collision.
Police said the road would likely be closed for several hours.
