Police said a black Honda SUV was allegedly travelling eastbound on Derry at a “very high rate of speed” while approaching Argentia before rear-ending another vehicle. The SUV mounted the median and struck a second vehicle travelling westbound on Derry head-on.

The driver of the rear-ended vehicle was transported to a hospital with minor injuries, police said, while the driver and passenger of the vehicle hit head-on were transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
