A five-vehicle collision in Whitby sent five people to hospital, including one woman who suffered serious injuries, Wednesday evening.
Durham Regional Police responded to the crash on Thickson Road shortly after 6 p.m. Investigators say a northbound vehicle lost control, crossed into the southbound lane and struck another vehicle, triggering a series of additional collisions involving traffic in both directions.
A total of seven people were involved across five vehicles. One woman was transported to a Toronto trauma centre with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, while four others were taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.
Thickson Road was closed for several hours as police investigated but has since reopened. The investigation remains ongoing.
