Seven people were taken to hospital after a collision in Wellesley on Thursday afternoon, according to police in Waterloo Region.

They say emergency services were dispatched to Manser Road and Streicher Line shortly before 2 p.m. after the collision was reported.

The officers soon discovered that one vehicle was heading eastbound on Streicher Line while the other was headed north on Manser Road when they collided, forcing both to roll over off the road.

Police say an Ornge Air was brought in to take one person to an out-of-region hospital with critical injuries while six others were taken to an area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

The roads were closed for about six hours on Thursday as officers investigated the collision and police say that charges are pending.
