A 19-year-old Orillia man has been charged following a two-vehicle collision in Springwater on August 1 that resulted in four hospitalizations.

Charges were laid against the man on January 22, and he is facing three counts of careless driving causing bodily harm. He is set to appear in court in Barrie on February 24.

Huronia West OPP say the crash occurred at around 5:30 p.m. on Crossland Road and Flos Road 4 where one vehicle reportedly rolled into the ditch. Police, Springwater Fire, and Simcoe County Paramedics all responded to the scene.

As a result of the collision, a female passenger was airlifted to a Toronto hospital in life-threatening condition, and the male driver was taken to the Barrie hospital with serious injuries. The driver and passenger in the other vehicle were transported to Collingwood General and Marine Hospital, also with serious injuries.

OPP had put out a call for dashcam video or for any potential witnesses to come forward
