Two people hospitalized after Owen Sound crash

Owen Sound police say charges are pending after a two-vehicle collision on Monday morning.

It happened at approximately 9:45 a.m. at 2nd Avenue West and 9th Street West. It involved a passenger vehicle and a motorcycle.

Police say the motorcycle was traveling northbound on 2nd Avenue West when a sedan, traveling southbound, attempted to turn left onto 9th Street West. The motorcycle hit the sedan, causing the rider to be ejected.

Both drivers were taken to Brightshores Hospital. The 73-year-old sedan driver suffered minor injuries, but the 59-year-old motorcyclist was airlifted by Ornge air ambulance to another hospital with more serious injuries.

Police continue to investigate the incident.
