Two people were seriously injured following a multi-vehicle crash in Oshawa.

Durham Regional Police officers were called to Simcoe Street North, just south of Howden Road East, before 8 a.m. Friday for reports of a crash involving two vehicles.

Police said a Mazda pickup truck, traveling northbound, lost control and veered into the path of a southbound GMC SUV, resulting in a head-on collision.

The 25-year-old male driver of the Mazda and a 52-year-old female driver of the GMC were both taken to Toronto-area trauma centres with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Roads in the area were closed for several hours as police investigated but have since reopened.
