Five people, including an infant, were transported to hospital following a six-vehicle collision on Highway 401 in Kingston on Wednesday, October 22, 2025. The crash occurred in the eastbound lanes near Sydenham Road just before 8 a.m.
Frontenac OPP officers were joined at the scene by Frontenac Paramedics and the Kingston Fire Department.

Authorities say the hospitalized individuals sustained either minor injuries or were checked out as a precaution. While the highway remained open, temporary lane closures were implemented to ensure public safety and allow emergency crews to work.
