The Ontario Provincial Police say the crash happened around 7:30 p.m., Friday evening, in Mapleton Township, northwest of Guelph, at the intersection of 4th Line and Wellington Road 12.
Investigators say a van with nine people inside and a sport utility vehicle with one person collided at the intersection, resulting in occupants from both vehicles sustaining serious, life-threatening injuries, alongside fatalities.
All 10 of the passengers and drivers were injured or killed, investigators said.
At least three people were airlifted to various trauma centres, while others were rushed to local hospitals.

The intersection will be closed for most of Saturday, officers added.
