Four people were injured following a two-vehicle highway crash Saturday.

Depsite wet snow and rain, OPP Sgt. Ted Becker said that weather played no role in the collision that took place at Highway 102 at Townline Road just after 4 p.m. Saturday. Police say they believe the collision was instead the result of driver error.

Four people were injured in the crash – two drivers and two passengers – but paramedics at the scene said none of the injuries appeared to be life threatening.

Police say a burgundy Buick car was being driven west when the driver decided to turn around and head back to the city. The driver of that car slowed down, turned into a nearby driveway and then turned into oncoming traffic.

The driver of a burgundy Pontiac sedan collided with the Buick as the driver made that turn.

Officers at the scene couldn't say for sure, but said they suspect that charges will be laid.
