Six people have been taken to hospital, including two adults with life-threatening injuries, following a violent crash in Brant.

Norfolk County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and Norfolk County paramedic services were called to a two-vehicle crash on Brantford Rd. near Burford Delhi Townline Rd. around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Police say a minivan was travelling northbound on Brantford Rd. when it collided with another minivan travelling westbound.

OPP Cst. Ed Sanchuk says the intersection is controlled by stop signs which likely played a role in the crash.
