Two people have died and a third has suffered serious injuries after a Christmas Day collision between a sedan and an SUV near Barrhaven.

Paramedics were called to the head-on collision on Greenbank Road between Fallowfield and West Hunt Club at 4:14 p.m. Friday afternoon.

The driver of the SUV, a 30-year-old man, suffered major trauma in the collision and had no vital signs when paramedics arrived.

He was pronounced dead at the scene, said the Ottawa Paramedic Service.

His passenger, a 32-year-old woman, was treated at the scene for injuries to her back and abdomen and was taken to the Ottawa Hospital's trauma centre in serious condition.

The driver of the other vehicle also had no vital signs. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at the scene and on the way to the hospital, where he arrived in critical condition Friday afternoon.

On Saturday, police said the man, 27, had died of his injuries.

Alcohol, drugs not a factor
