ORNGE air ambulance called after crash in Niagara-on-the-Lake

Two people are in critical condition following a serious two-vehicle crash in Niagara-on-the-Lake Tuesday morning.

Niagara police say it happened just before noon on Tuesday in the area of Four Mile Creek and Line 4 roads.

Investigators say an 80-year-old man driving a silver Subaru was travelling northbound on Four Mile Creek Road when he crossed the centre line and collided with a 65-year-old woman who was operating a blue Ram pickup truck travelling southbound.

One of the occupants from the Subaru was transported by air ambulance to an out of region hospital with life threatening injuries and is in critical condition.

The other was taken by local paramedics to hospital and is also in critical condition.

The driver of the Ram suffered minor physical injuries.

Police say Four Mile Creek Road has since reopened from Line 3 Road to Line 4 Road.
