Two people hurt in crash on Hwy. 416 in Ottawa’s south end
A driver is facing a charge of carless driving after a vehicle crashed into the back of a crash truck in a construction zone on Hwy. 416 in Ottawa’s south end, according to police.
Emergency crews responded to the crash on Highway 416 at Bankfield Road just before 9 a.m. Tuesday. Ontario Provincial Police say a vehicle drove into the back of a crash truck in a construction zone.
Police say the driver of the "at fault" vehicle was airlifted to the Ottawa Hospital Trauma Centre with serious but non-life threatening injuries. Paramedics also transported the driver of the crash truck in stable condition.
OPP say it's the second collision in less than a week involving a crash truck being rear-ended.
"It should go without saying that drivers need to be more aware of what's going on around them," OPP said in a news release on X.
The vehicle driver was charged with careless driving and faces a fine of $490 and six demerit points upon conviction.
The southbound lanes of Highway 416 were closed between Fallowfield Drive and Bankfield Road as the OPP investigated.
