The passenger of the Ford 250 truck, a 65-year-old woman from Valley, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was treated at the scene.
The driver and sole occupant of the Nissan Rogue, a 69-year-old woman from Donkin, N.S., was transported by EHS with minor injuries.
The driver of the Ford F150 truck, a 41-year-old woman, and passenger, a 59-year-old woman, both from Ontario, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were treated at the scene.
