An early morning crash on the Circumferential Highway in Dartmouth has sent people to hospital Monday morning.

Halifax Regional Police say they received reports shortly after 6 a.m. of a vehicle travelling northbound on the wrong side of the highway near Exit 5. They then received reports of a head-on collision near the Woodland Avenue on-ramp.

It’s reported that occupants of both vehicles sustained serious injuries. An investigation is underway.

As of 8 a.m. on Monday, southbound traffic between Woodland Avenue and Micmac Boulevard on Highway 111 is reduced to one lane and is expected to remain closed for an extended period.
