One person has suffered life-threatening injuries, another was left with non-life-threatening injuries, after their vehicle collided with a moose in Algonquin Park early Sunday morning. Killaloe OPP say they were called out to Highway 60 near Tea Lake after a vehicle struck a moose and then slid into a tree around 1am on Sunday. The two occupants of the car involved in the crash were transported to hospital in Huntsville. The more critically injured person, a 40-year-old woman, was later transferred to a Toronto trauma centre. The 45-year-old man remained in Huntsville in stable condition.
The OPP warns motorists that an increasing number of moose have been coming out of the forest and onto roads, particularly in the area of Algonquin Park, in an effort to escape from swarms of insects. Please, observe posted speed limits in order to ensure you have adequate reaction and keep your eyes on the road and ditches ahead.
