According to Orgne Air Ambulance, the patient was taken to Hamilton General Hospital.
Waterloo regional police tweeted about the crash on Line 86 between Sloman Lane and Powell Road at 3:20 p.m. Friday.
Police said a black SUV travelling south on Line 86 and a white truck travelling north on Line 86 were involved in a collision at the intersection Friday afternoon.
"As a result of the collision, the passenger in the SUV, an 83-year-old female from Drayton, sustained life-threatening injuries and was transported to an out-of-region hospital by air ambulance. The driver of the SUV, an 84-year-old male from Drayton, sustained serious injuries and was transported to a local hospital by Region of Waterloo Paramedic Services," police said.
