Seven people were taken to hospital after a four-vehicle collision Friday night in Orleans, according to paramedics.
Ottawa paramedics said they received a call around 9 p.m. Friday to a crash on Tenth Line Road at Des Epinettes Avenue. It involved two SUVs, a Honda Civic and a four-door sedan.
The injured were in the Civic and one of the SUVs, paramedics said. They said they took the male front-seat passenger, 20, and a 23-year-old female passenger of the Civic to hospital with head injuries, while the 22-year-old female driver was taken to hospital with pelvic pain.
The male driver of that SUV, 40, was taken to hospital with lower back pain while a 5-year-old boy in the back seat suffered head trauma and a chipped tooth.
The front seat passenger, a 30-year-old female, was also taken. Her daughter was uninjured but went with her.
Paramedics said all patients were in stable condition. The male and female in the other SUV, along with the driver of the sedan were uninjured.
Ottawa firefighters said they had to extricate two of the injured from their vehicles, and that police closed Prestwick eastbound and Tenth Line Road northbound after the accident.
