Three people were taken to hospital after a two-vehicle crash in Barrie involving a vehicle reported stolen earlier Wednesday evening.
Police say the collision occurred shortly before midnight in the area of Anne Street and Cundles Road West.
Emergency crews had to extricate a 22-year-old Barrie man from a Honda Accord, which police say was the vehicle reported stolen earlier in the evening from a parking lot at 310 Georgian Drive in the city's north end. The man was taken to a Toronto trauma centre with serious injuries.
The male driver and female passenger in the other vehicle were taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.
Investigators believe there was also a passenger in the stolen vehicle who fled before officers arrived.
The police K9 Unit searched the area but was unable to locate anyone.
The intersection area remained closed overnight and into Thursday morning as police investigated and crews cleaned up the scene.
Anyone with information, including surveillance video of the vehicle theft or the collision, is asked to email investigating officer D. Tompkins at dtompkins@barriepolice.ca.
