A two-vehicle crash on Saturday afternoon sent two people to hospital and closed a portion of a busy road in Goulds.

At around 12:45 p.m. emergency crews responded to a stretch of Ruby Line, near Back Line, following the collision. The force of the crash caused one vehicle to roll completely over, coming to a rest on its roof. Both occupants of that vehicle were taken to hospital with injuries that, at the time, weren’t believed to be serious in nature. There were no injuries to anyone in the second vehicle, which sustained moderate damage.

A small portion of Ruby Line, just north of Back Line, was closed into the afternoon as the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary investigated the collision.
