One man is in hospital with serious injuries after a two-vehicle crash in Ajax.
Durham regional police were called to the area of Westney and Taunton roads just after 6 a.m. Thursday.
Police said the man was driving a classic pickup truck from the 1950s or early 1960s, before seatbelts were mandatory.
One of the vehicles is a classic Chevy pickup truck from the 50’s. From my view, it doesn’t appear to have seatbelts. @CityNews pic.twitter.com/n5g8tjOvk4

I just learned from one of the @DRPS police today that under the Ontario HTA, vehicles that didn’t come originally manufactured with a seatbelt, don’t need to have one installed. @CityNews @680NEWStraffic

Initial reports from the scene said he may have been ejected from the vehicle.
He was rushed to a trauma centre with possible head injuries. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
One other person was taken to local hospital, but no word on injuries.
