Ten people have been taken to hospital, one with life-threatening injuries, after a multi-vehicle crash north of Waterford in Norfolk County.
The OPP were called to the intersection of Highway 24 and Norfolk County Road 19 East after five vehicles collided Thursday morning.
"It appears someone was travelling southbound, preparing to turn onto Norfolk County Road 19 East. When they were rear-ended it caused a chain reaction," said Constable Ed Sanchuk in a Periscope video from the scene.
The video shows two severely damaged pickup trucks, a heavily damaged car, and a flatbed truck that was hauling a load of piping.
"It's devastating," said Sanchuk. "Officers here are amazed that there weren't deaths, but right now we do have ten people who were sent to hospital."
Highway 24 between Windham Road 3 and Norfolk Country Road 19 East was closed for several hours but was reopened around 8:30 p.m.
