The driver of the black coloured vehicle, a 46-year-old woman from Norfolk County, was airlifted to a Hamilton-area hospital to be treated for life threatening injuries.

The driver of the green van, a 74-year-old man from Norfolk County, suffered minor injuries. The 43-year-old male driver and 42-year-old passenger in the white pickup truck were not injured.

Hwy. 3 between Pinegrove Rd. and Lyndoch R.d, as well as Fertilzer Rd. between Lyndoch Rd. and Windham Rd. 14 were closed for several hours while police conducted an investigation.
