Detours are in place after a car ended up colliding with a home.
A car crashed into a home at the intersection of Dundas Street West and Wallbridge-Loyalist Road shortly after 1 p.m. and ended up wedged underneath the house.
Belleville firefighters needed to remove at least one person from the vehicle, with officials at the scene telling Quinte News that Hastings-Quinte paramedics took two people to the hospital.
A building inspector has been called to check the structural integrity of the house before crews can remove the car and leave the scene.
The Belleville Police Traffic Unit is expected to be on site for the next little while directing traffic, with eastbound traffic from Quinte West being detoured off Old Highway 2 at Montrose Road.
