The Portage Fire Department and ambulance services were called out to an incident this afternoon on Highway 1 near Oakville. 

The call came in during the three o'clock hour of a three-car pile-up on Highway 1. Upon the fire department's arrival at the scene, several more cars had collided and ambulances were transporting three people to the hospital with unknown injuries.Several of the cars were left undrivable. 

Firefighters departed the scene part-way through the four o'clock hour to respond to another crash a quarter mile back, the family endured no injuries but their car was left undrivable. The fire department notes poor visibility was a factor.

The highway was closed for a couple hours but has since been reopened.
