The Mounties say a 42-year-old woman, the driver of the van, needed extraction from the vehicle by fire services and was taken to hospital with apparent life-threatening injuries.
They say the other occupants of the van, a 36-year-old man and four children aged nine, seven, five and three suffered injuries ranging from serious to life-threatening, and were also taken to hospital.
Police say the 28-year-old man, driving the car, also needed extraction from the vehicle by fire services and was taken to hospital with apparent life-threatening injuries; and a dog was found dead.
