Two people are in hospital after a head-on crash in central Ontario.

Police say it happened at about 7 a-m in the City of Kawartha Lakes, west of Peterborough (on Little Britain Road west of Eldon Road).

Fire crews used the "jaws of life" to extricate the female driver of one of the vehicles, and she was airlifted to a Toronto-area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The male driver of the second vehicle was transported by ambulance to the Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay with non-life-threatening injuries.
