Emergency crews were called to the two-vehicle collision on County Line shortly after 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.

County Line between Concession 6 and Concession 16 is expected to remain closed for several hours, Gamble said.
Police did not say if weather was a factor in the crash but warned people to stay off the roads if possible.
“As you can see weather and road conditions right now are less than ideal in Norfolk County. If you don’t have to get inside a vehicle today to travel anywhere please stay at home,” Gamble said.
