A southbound vehicle was stopped at the intersection and proceeded to turn east onto Highway 52 when it collided with a westbound vehicle. The driver of the westbound vehicle, a female from Blumenort, was transported to hospital with minor injuries. 

The male driver of the southbound vehicle was transported to hospital before police arrived on scene. His identity and condition have not been confirmed. 

While responding to the scene, an RCMP vehicle was involved in a second collision. It occurred on Highway 59, about two kilometres north of PR 23.

Agathe, were uninjured. The officer was also not injured. 

The two collisions are still under investigation.
