CAESAREA, Ont. – Police say nine people, including a six-month-old baby, were hospitalized after two boats crashed north of Oshawa, Ont.

Officers say a larger powerboat collided with a smaller boat on Lake Scugog late Saturday afternoon, trapping the infant underneath.

A bystander was able to swim out to save the baby, while the other victims were pulled from the water.

Police say all of the injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening.

The cause of the accident is being investigated. (CKLY)
