Two drivers were transported to the hospital with minor injuries after a seven-vehicle crash on Highway 417 in downtown Ottawa Sunday afternoon. The collision occurred in the westbound lanes near Bronson Avenue, according to the Ontario Provincial Police.
The crash, reported around 3:07 p.m., led to the closure of multiple lanes for about an hour. All lanes have since reopened.
Ottawa Paramedic Services initially reported no hospitalizations but later confirmed two people were transported by ambulance. Four vehicles required towing, as the Ottawa OPP continues to investigate.
