A collision at one of St. John’s’ most dangerous intersections caused considerable damage to both vehicles involved.

Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Torbay Road and Elizabeth Avenue at about 6:30 p.m. on Monday following the collision, between a pickup truck and an SUV. Both vehicles sustained significant damage. The drivers of both vehicles were briefly assessed by paramedics, however neither went to hospital.

Traffic was slowed in the area as crews worked.
