One person has been airlifted to a Toronto hospital, following an early morning crash in New Tecumseth.

A westbound vehicle was travelling along the 11th Line when the driver swerved to avoid hitting an animal and struck an eastbound vehicle.  

The collision happened near the 15th Sideroad at around 5:15 a.m.

Both drivers were taken to local hospital for treatment. One of the drivers has since been airlifted to a Toronto hospital.

The investigation is ongoing.
