Three young area residents were injured in a two-vehicle collision here on Sunday.
On Oct. 26, at approximately 11:23pm members of the Wellington County OPP received a report of a serious collision involving two vehicles at the intersection of Concession 8 and Sideroad 15 in Mapleton Township.
Further information was received that a hydro pole was struck and wires were on the roadway.
Officers responded along with Mapleton Fire/Rescue, Guelph/Wellington Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Hydro One.
Investigation revealed a 2001 Audi travelling west on Concession 8 collided with a 2008 Toyota that was travelling north on Sideroad 15. Both vehicles left the roadway and the Audi struck a hydro pole.
The 17-year-old male driver of the Audi, from North Perth, was transported to a local hospital and later airlifted to a Toronto hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The 18-year-old female driver of the Toyota was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries and the passenger in her vehicle, a 15-year-old male, was transported to a local hospital and subsequently airlifted to a Toronto hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. Both are from Mapleton Township.
No updates on the condition of any of the injured parties were available as of the Wellington Advertiser deadline.
