Two in hospital, including 12-year-old boy, after car and dump truck collide

A crash involving a dump truck and a sedan on Highway 5 Thursday morning sent two people to hospital including a 12-year-old boy for serious injuries.

Officers say that a sedan that was travelling eastbound on Highway 5 attempted to turn left, when it allegedly collided with a westbound going dump truck.

Investigators say the driver of the sedan, a 43-year-old woman, was taken to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

Inside the sedan were four children: a four-year-old girl, a six-year-old boy, a 10-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy.
