A serious three-vehicle crash involving pickup trucks in Minden Hills on Wednesday evening sent two people to hospital and shut down a section of Highway 35 for several hours.

One person with life-threatening injuries was airlifted, while another sustained minor injuries. The third driver and their passenger were unhurt. The collision occurred between County Road 121 and Deep Bay Road in Moore Falls, prompting road closures and an ongoing police investigation.

The highway reopened shortly before 3 a.m., but the cause of the crash has not yet been determined.
