Ontario Provincial Police are investigating a major two-vehicle collision that left one victim with life-threatening injuries in Huntsville Thursday evening.
According to police, the serious crash occurred around 6:00 p.m. on Highway 60 near Fairview Drive and involved two SUVs. A 40-year-old male driver was airlifted to a Toronto trauma center in critical condition after the collision.
A 32-year-old female driver sustained only minor wounds in the devastating accident. OPP have not released any information on potential factors that led to the collision as they continue probing the circumstances.
The stark contrast in severity of injuries highlights the fickle nature of high-speed crashes. While the female driver somehow avoided major harm, the male victim faces a battle for his life from wounds suffered in an instant.
As the tight-knit Huntsville community holds its collective breath, police are urging anyone who may have witnessed the troubling collision to assist investigators working to understand how such a traumatic incident occurred on a local highway. The priority now rests on supporting those most deeply impacted by the tragic event.
