A collision between an SUV and a semi-truck north of Whitemouth sent one person to hospital Monday afternoon.

RCMP were dispatched to the scene on Highway 44 at 12:10 PM. Police say the SUV driver, a 40-year-old man from Seven Sisters Falls, was travelling north when he collided with a southbound semi, driven by a 41-year-old male from Ste. Anne.

The SUV operator was extricated from his vehicle by the Whitemouth Fire Department and was transported by STARS to the Health Sciences Centre in critical condition.

Police say alcohol does not appear to be a factor.

The investigation is ongoing.
