An 18-year-old male from Thames Centre has been charged with careless driving after a three-vehicle crash southeast of London on Tuesday evening.
Elgin County OPP say the crash occurred on Highbury Avenue between Webber Bourne and Carr Road just after 7 p.m.
Officials say a northbound Jeep Patriot crossed the centre line while navigating a curve, hitting a southbound Honda CRV head on and then spinning into a Ford F150 pickup travelling behind the CRV.
The Jeep came to rest in the east ditch while the CRV and F150 came to rest in the west ditch. Both the Jeep and CRV suffered extensive damage while the F150 was moderately damaged.
A 53-year-old St. Thomas woman had to be extricated from the CRV. She and the driver of the Jeep were transported to a London hospital but suffered only minor injuries.
The 33-year-old Central Elgin man driving the F150 was not injured in the crash.
The crash closed Highbury Avenue for about two hours.
Jeremy Nopper is facing one count of careless driving in connection with the crash.
