Driver sent to hospital early Monday after serious crash on Linc in Hamilton

A driver was taken to hospital with serious injuries following a crash early Monday on the Lincoln Alexander Parkway in Hamilton, Ont.

Police say two vehicles came together in the eastbound lanes of the Linc around 1:30 a.m. between Upper James and Upper Wentworth Streets.

The incident closed lanes in both directions on the Linc for hours due to road repairs before reopening just after noon.

Investigators say a 2023 Mercedes YCG, driven by a 16-year-old G2 driver, collided with an eastbound 2022 Lexus IS, driven by a 24-year-old Hamilton man.

After coming together, the Mercedes flipped onto its roof and eventually came to rest about 150 metres from the Lexus.

The driver of the Lexus suffered life-threatening injuries, according to paramedics.

The Mercedes driver was also sent to hospital with minor injuries.

Detectives are seeking witnesses and security camera footage.

Anyone with information can reach out to Hamilton police or Crime Stoppers.
