A man was taken from the scene in an air ambulance after being extricated from his car.

One man is in serious but stable condition following a head-on collision between a tow truck and car along Russell Road at Sand Road.

Emergency crews were called to the area of Russell Road at Milton Road at 8:56 a.m., Friday.

The seriously injured man needed to be extricated from his vehicle and taken from the scene via air ambulance.

The ORNGE helicopter was airborne with the patient at 9:30 a.m.

Ottawa Paramedics say one other person suffered minor injuries in the crash.

The Ottawa Police Service had closed Russell Road in both directions between Milton Road and Frank Kenny Road, but that stretch has since re-opened.

Officers continue to investigate the collision.
