A two-vehicle collision this afternoon in Port Stanley resulted in the evacuation of residents in the area of Colborne and Hetty streets due to a gas leak. Elgin OPP report a vehicle northbound on Colborne Street was struck by a vehicle eastbound on Hetty. The northbound vehicle veered into a house on Hetty Street and struck a gas meter.
A 68-year-old individual from that vehicle was airlifted to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Two other people were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The gas was turned off and residents allowed back to their homes around 2:30 p.m.
Police say the investigation is ongoing.
