A major investigation is underway after a five-vehicle crash on Highway 7 sent six people to hospital on Sunday evening. Lanark OPP responded to the collision in Innisville around 5:30 p.m., where they found victims ranging in age from 17 to 78.
Three people suffered injuries that were considered potentially life-threatening, including a senior who remained in the most serious condition. The remaining three individuals were treated and expected to be released Monday.
