Three injured after vehicle and horse and buggy collision

Three people who were riding in a horse and buggy were rushed to hospital after a collision with a motor vehicle on Howick-Turnberry Road.

The collision happened on Friday evening at about 6:30 pm between Gorrie Road and Belmore Line.

The 46-year-old driver of the horse and buggy was taken to hospital along with two passengers aged 14 and 2. All three were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

The investigation continues with the support of the OPP Traffic Technical Collision Investigators.

Police are asking any witnesses who may have approached the scene from a westerly direction, particularly after the collision, to contact Police.

In the meantime, police are also asking witnesses to contact them in connection to another collision involving a horse and buggy last Thursday.
