A man was seriously injured when his car collided head-on with a snow plow in Richmond Hill early Wednesday.
York Regional Police say the two-vehicle crash occurred in the area of Bayview Ave. and North Lake Rd. — south of Bloomington Rd. — around 1 a.m.
“When officers arrived, they observed a small white hatchback had collided head-on into a snow plow,” Const. Kevin Nebrija said in a statement.
He said the driver of the hatchback was initially taken to a local hospital.
“However, his condition deteriorated and (he) was transferred to a trauma centre where he remains in serious condition,” Nebrija said, adding the driver of the plow remained at the scene and was not injured.
The investigation is ongoing.
Investigators are asking any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police, and anyone who may have dashcam footage of the area at the time of the collision, to call the Major Collision Investigations Unit at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7704, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
