Shortly before 7:30pm on Friday, the RCMP advised that St Peters Road is closed between York Road and Suffolk Road in Marshfeild due to a serious multivehicle collision. The road is anticipated to be closed for an extended period of time as RCMP investigate.
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital has activated a partial CODE ORANGE in response to several trauma patients being expected at the hospital.
During a partial CODE ORANGE, additional staff and protocols are activated to increase hospital capacity in order to respond to the event.
At this time, the public is asked to only come to the emergency department for urgent or critical issues. Those with non-urgent concerns can expect long waits.
