Previous collision

Monday’s crash is the second one at Clyde Road and Clydebank Drive in just the last eight months.

Four teens were taken to hospital on Oct. 6 after the 15-year-old behind the wheel lost control of her vehicle and hit a hydro pole.

The driver, two male passengers and a female passenger received medical treatment for serious injuries.

Police said all four were under the age of 16.
