Windsor police say charges have been laid following a fiery crash that sent six people to hospital Saturday night.
Shortly after 8:30 p.m., officers were called to a crash near the intersection of Tecumseh Road East and McDougall Street, where a pickup truck and SUV was observed on fire.
Police and bystanders successfully extricated both drivers, who were trapped inside the vehicles.
Photos and video posted to social media from the scene showed two vehicles on fire.
Through investigation, police determined that the pickup truck struck a small sedan while travelling westbound on Tecumseh, before veering into eastbound traffic and colliding with the SUV.
The driver of the sedan was assessed on-scene and did not require medical treatment.
The five occupants of the SUV were admitted to hospital, including the driver who has life-threatening injuries, while the others have serious injuries.
The driver of the pickup truck, a 34-year-old man, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Police said he remains in medical care and is charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm and leaving the scene of accident.
Tecumseh Road between Goyeau Street and McDougall Street was closed for several hours while the Windsor Police Traffic Reconstruction Unit conducted their investigation.
Police are asking anyone who witnessed the collision, has information or video footage of the incident, to call the traffic enforcement unit at 519-945-9645 ext. 8803.
