Provincial police say Highway 17 is now open after a collision just north of Renfrew, Ont.

Just after 7:00 a.m. on Wednesday police responded to a three-vehicle crash on the highway between Chenaux Road and Haley Road.

One person was taken to a regional trauma centre by Ornge ambulance with “very serious injuries.”
