Three People Taken To Hospital After Collision In Gravenhurst

Bracebridge OPP officers along with Muskoka Paramedic Services and Gravenhurst Fire Department responded to several 9-1-1 calls about a collision that occurred on Bethune Drive near Muskoka Road South in Gravenhurst, Wednesday just before 11 a.m. between a cement truck and a passenger vehicle that left the occupants of the passenger vehicle trapped.

Gravenhurst Fire Department worked quickly to extricate the occupants including one small child who was fortunately unharmed, thanks to a properly installed child car seat. The driver was transported by air to a Toronto area hospital and the passengers by land ambulance to a local hospital, both with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the cement truck was uninjured.

The Highway 11 North off-ramp to Gravenhurst at Muskoka Road 169 along with a section of Bethune Drive near Muskoka Road South are currently closed for the ongoing investigation with the assistance of the OPP Technical Collision Unit.
