WILMOT, N.S. — Five people are in hospital after a collision between a horse-drawn sleigh and a car in western Nova Scotia.

Four adults from the sleigh were transported to hospital by ground ambulance with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

One other adult from the sleigh was transported to hospital by air ambulance with what police said were undetermined injuries.

The Mounties closed the road for several hours while they investigated the incident.

There's no immediate word on any charges.
