The incident happened on Monday, August 8, at around midday on the carriageway, near Rossland and Westney roads.
An Ornge Air Ambulance responded to the scene and transported one person to a hospital, Durham Regional Police told CTV News.
Ornge said their patient is a man in his 20s. He was taken to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center in Toronto with serious injuries, they said.
Another male victim was taken to a local hospital, Sgt. Joanna Bortolus of the Durham Regional Police Service told members of the media at the scene.
