An investigation is ongoing after a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Highway 12 and Mississaga Street Saturday.
Officers with the Orillia detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police responded to the crash around 3:45 p.m.
Police received multiple calls reporting the crash and indicated that one of the vehicles was potentially on fire.
Orillia Fire and Georgian Ambulance also responded to the scene and the roadway was closed for approximately an hour and 15 minutes.
Both drivers involved in the crash were taken to hospital with minor, non-life threatening injuries.
The driver deemed at fault was charged with red light - fail to stop, contrary to section 144(18) of the Highway Traffic Act and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
Police also say that while first responders were on scene, they noticed numerous drivers failing to follow officer directions, leading to vehicles driving through the scene of the accident, which could slow emergency response time and causing risk to first responders on scene.
It resulted in a reminder from the Orillia OPP to watch for emergency services and follow any directions given by officers.
"Any motorist failing to do so could face charges under the Highway Traffic Act including but not limited to disobey officer directing traffic, or drive on closed highway," a release said.
