A truck then collided with one of the vehicles from behind.
The occupants of the truck were transported to Central Newfoundland Regional Health Centre, treated for minor injuries and released. The Springdale Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services from Springdale, Grand Falls-Windsor, Triton and Lewisporte attended the scene. A section of the Trans-Canada Highway was closed until late Sunday evening.
