OTTAWA-Five teenagers were taken to hospital, one of them by helicopter, after their car was involved in a two-vehicle collision in the city’s west side Thursday afternoon.
The call came in at 3:10 p.m. following a collision at the intersection of Hazeldean Road and Carbrooke Street. An air ambulance landed at about 3:45 p.m. in the parking lot of a grocery store across the street from the crash.
The crash involved a pickup truck and a car, according to fire services spokesman Marc Messier.
The truck was westbound on Hazeldean when an eastbound, older-model Toyota tried to turn left onto Irwin Gate, said Jeff Rawlings, the truck’s 24-year-old driver. Rawlings was not injured in the collision.
After the car hit the pickup, it spun several times before crashing into a hydro pole, Rawlings said.
Firefighters used the jaws of life to get to the teenagers, who were trapped inside. They treated the patients until paramedics arrived a short time later.
Paramedics treated a 16-year-old girl for life-threatening head and chest injuries. She was airlifted to hospital and is in critical condition.
A 17-year-old boy, a 15-year-old girl, a 17-year-old girl and the 18-year-old man who drove the car were also treated for various injuries. The driver has been released from hospital. Paramedics said Thursday night the other teens are in hospital, listed in stable condition.
