1-year-old girl dies of injuries from Highway 417 crash
A one-year-old girl badly hurt in a fiery crash on Highway 417 Friday has died, according to police.
Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said they received a call shortly after 4 p.m. that day for a crash involving multiple vehicles on the highway near Palladium Drive and Carp Road in west Ottawa.
Ottawa paramedics said they responded to a three-vehicle crash and treated seven patients.
One child, later identified by OPP as a one-year-old girl, was airlifted in life-threatening condition to a children's trauma centre following the crash, paramedics said Friday.
Police said in an email Monday afternoon that she had died.
A three-year-old girl, a woman and a man also sustained life-threatening injuries and were taken by ground to trauma centres, paramedics said.
Another man was seriously injured and was taken to hospital in stable condition, while two others were treated on scene and didn't require hospitalization.
OPP had no update Monday on the other patients, and said no charges have been laid as the investigation continues.
