A crash of a Brink’s tractor-trailer in northeastern Ontario this morning seriously injured the two occupants, and scattered millions of dollars in Canadian coins on the highway and in the neighbouring bush.
The crash happened on Highway 11, south of Ramore, north of Kirkland Lake, when the tractor-trailer collided with a rock cut in Benoit Township.
It also caused a series of chain-reaction collisions that involved a minivan and two other tractor-trailer units.
Ontario Provincial Police closed the highway from Matheson to Kenogami, and said it would remain that way for several hours.
One occupant of the Brink's vehicle was taken to Bingham Memorial Hospital and the other was taken to a Kirkland Lake Hospital.
Both men remain in hospital with life-threatening injuries.
South Porcupine OPP described the “debris field,” made up of millions of dollars in Canadian coins, as “massive,” although the exact value of the money strewn in the area of the crash wasn't immediately known.
The driver of the minivan was uninjured, but the drivers of the other tractor-trailer units sustained minor injuries. They have since been released from the hospital.
Police said Highway 101 remains open for east-west traffic.
They recommend south-bound or cross-country traffic to use Highway 655 to Timmins, and then continue south to Sudbury on Highway 144. The opposite route is recommended for north-bound traffic or west-bound, cross-country traffic.
