Three young area residents were injured in a two-vehicle collision here on Sunday.
On Oct. 26, at approximately 11:23pm members of the Wellington County OPP received a report of a serious collision involving two vehicles at the intersection of Concession 8 and Sideroad 15 in Mapleton Township.
Further information was received that a hydro pole was struck and wires were on the roadway.

Both are from Mapleton Township.
