The Ottawa Police Service is seeking witnesses to a serious two-vehicle crash in rural southeast Ottawa Wednesday afternoon.
police say five people—two adults and three children—were seriously injured when their SUV and a dump truck collided in the area of Parkway and 9th Line roads at around 3:30 p.m.

The driver in the dump truck was not injured.
Ottawa Fire Services say two of the people in the SUV were trapped. Firefighters removed both doors on the driver's side in order to extricate the trapped people.

'Despite the efforts of first responders, the motorcyclist succumbed to their injuries at the scene.' The Jeep driver, meanwhile, was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, according to police. The department did not specify whether speeding and intoxication was suspected on the part of the Jeep driver or the motorcyclist. Highway 11 northbound between Old Clayburn and Harris roads was shut down for the investigation and police anticipated the area to reopen at 9 a.m. Anyone who witnessed the crash or has dash camera video is asked to call the APD at 604-859-5225.
