Ladysmith RCMP said several people were injured after a black Ford truck and a blue Subaru collided on Highway 1 near Brenton-Page Road.
Police said the crash occurred Feb. 23 at about 11:30 a.m. The truck was travelling south on the Trans-Canada Highway when it made an unsafe left-hand turn onto Brenton-Page Road.
Staff Sgt. Trevor Busch said emergency crews responded and some people were taken to hospital.
“Several people sustained minor injuries, and some were taken to hospital,” he said.
Busch said investigators determined the truck driver was at fault and issued a violation ticket.
“Investigators were able to gather enough evidence at the scene and did issue a ticket to the driver of the Ford truck for causing the collision,” he said.
He said left-hand turns on the Trans-Canada Highway can be dangerous and urged drivers to exercise caution.
“Any left-hand turn on the Trans-Canada Highway is potentially a very dangerous left-hand turn, and we hope all motorists will be very cautious and give lots of time and distance before making the turns,” he said.
