Five Wellington County residents rushed to hospital after crash

Wellington County OPP are now looking for witnesses after a serious collision east of Mount Forest sent five local people to hospital.

The OPP said two local men are still in critical condition following a head-on crash Monday morning.

It happened about 8 a.m. when an SUV and a minivan had collided on Concession Road 6N, south of Highway 89.  That road was closed for several hours while OPP Technical Collision Investigators were at the scene.

The 45-year-old male driver of the van and 69-year-old male passenger were both transported to a trauma centre in critical condition. A 29-year-old mother and two two-year-old children from the SUV were transported with non-life-threatening injuries and released shortly thereafter.

The Wellington County OPP is asking anyone that may have witnessed this collision to please call 1-888-310-1122.
