Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are investigating a serious collision that sent two paramedics to hospital in the Town of Madoc, north of Belleville.
Officers from the Central Hastings detachment were called for a two-vehicle crash on Feb. 2 around 3:00 p.m. Emergency responders arrived to find that one of the vehicles was an ambulance and the other a transport truck.
The incident happened at the intersection of Highway 7 and Highway 62 in Madoc.
Two paramedics were sent to hospital, but one of them was later airlifted to a trauma centre by Ornge due to the life-threatening injuries. The second paramedic is still being treated with undetermined injuries, police said on Tuesday.
The two people in the transport truck were taken to hospital as a precaution, officials detailed in the press release.
On Feb. 3 the intersection in this portion of the town is closed due to repairs to the traffic lights.
Anyone with any information or with dashcam footage is asked to contact Central Hastings OPP at 1‑888‑310‑1122.
