Four seriously injured after vehicle rollover in Springwater
One person was airlifted with serious injuries and three others rushed to local hospitals after a vehicle rolled on Penetanguishene Road in Springwater Township on Thursday evening.
'We responded just shortly after 8 p.m. to a report of a single-vehicle rollover with occupants trapped. When crews arrived, they found the vehicle had left the road and rolled down an embankment into a tree,' Deputy Fire Chief Jeff French said. 'Of a total of four patients, three were trapped. The extrication took approximately 45 minutes to complete.'
Two women were taken to Georgian Bay General Hospital shortly after the crash occurred on Highway 93, south of Floss Road 7 East, and a male driver was rushed to Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre - all three with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
Another male passenger was initially taken to the Barrie hospital and later airlifted via air ambulance to a Toronto hospital with more serious injuries.
Highway 93 was closed from Robert Boulevard to Orr Lake Road in Hillsdale for several hours Thursday evening.
Highway 93 fully reopened in the early morning hours on Friday. Police say the investigation is ongoing and ask witnesses to the crash or anyone with video, including dash camera footage, to reach out to the authorities.
