No Serious Injuries in Fiery Collision Near Listowel

No one suffered any serious injuries in a multi-vehicle collision north of Listowel yesterday.

A tractor trailer and three passenger vehicles collided yesterday afternoon in whiteout conditions on Highway 23 just north of the town.

North Perth Fire Chief Ed Smith says all four of the vehicles involved caught fire.

"My understanding from our officer in charge was that there was a fuel tank that had been ruptured on the tractor trailer," he says.

"There were no real serious injuries to our understanding," he says "There were some people transported by ambulance but nothing real serious."

North Perth Firefighters from Listowel and Minto Firefighters out of Palmerston responded.  Smith says took about 45 minutes to put it out.
