Highway 416: Two people were seriously injured when they overturned near the Hunt Club

Paramedics in Ottawa say two people were taken to hospital after a 416 crash on West Hunt Club Road early Saturday afternoon.

It was the second major crash of the day at 416 after a trailer carrying a milk tractor rolled south of Roger Stevens Drive early Saturday morning.

Paramedics say they were called in a car crash shortly after 12:30 p.m. Both patients were in serious but stable condition. There were no other details about them.

Ottawa firefighters had to remove the roof of the vehicle to free a trapped man.

All the southern lanes were closed briefly at the West Hunt Club, but have since reopened.
