A two-vehicle collision at an east end intersection notorious for frequent crashes sent one person to hospital Wednesday night.
At about 9:00 p.m. emergency crews responded to the intersection of Portugal Cove Road and Major’s Path following the crash. A pickup truck and SUV had collided in the intersection, causing significant damage to both vehicles. A third vehicle, which was stopped at a red light, also sustained minor damage.
Paramedics took one person to hospital with injuries that weren’t believed to be serious.

At the same intersection, 45% of collisions involved a vehicle that was turning, a considerable increase over an average of 30% throughout the City.
