A photograph from a passing motorist shows a chaotic scene at the intersection of County Road 31 and Dalmeny Road, north of Winchester in the jurisdiction of Ottawa, shortly after an accident that occurred around 6 pm on October 10. Several police vehicles were already on scene, with more clearly speeding to the site of the collision to lend assistance.
The collision necessitated the closure of Dalmeny Road. It is unclear if there were any casualties resulting from the collision, or what caused it.
About 100,000 people per year are injured in car accidents in Canada, with the World Health Organization estimating that most countries spend about 3% of their gross domestic product annually on the financial costs of motor vehicle accidents.
