"One person was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries," OPP said in a news release Tuesday afternoon. "Highway 11 remains closed in both directions."

The road between Matheson and Kenogami was reopened shortly after 6 p.m.

Northbound traffic was diverted to Highway 112 and southbound traffic should use Highway 101.

An investigation by the technical collision investigation team and a collision reconstructionist is continuing.
