Two 18-year-olds were seriously injured when a sedan rolled over at the intersection of Altona Road and Kingston Road in Pickering early Friday morning.
Durham Regional Police said officers from West Division were called to the area at approximately 2:05 a.m. on Friday, August 14, 2026.
According to police, a Nissan sedan was travelling southbound on Altona Road at Kingston Road when it lost control, left the roadway and rolled over.
