PARRY SOUND, Ont. – A 13-year-old girl, an infant and an elderly man have died in a collision while travelling home from a hockey tournament.
Provincial police say a van exiting Highway 529 in Magnetawan First Nation, about 65 kilometres north of Parry Sound, Ont., drove into the path of a transport on Highway 69 on Wednesday night.
Police say the driver of the van, 71-year-old William Tuck of Lake Helen First Nation, and two passengers, Ember Wynne, 13, and three-month-old Myah Kowtiash, both of Red Rock Township, Ont., died of their injuries.
Two other passengers in the van were taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the tractor-trailer suffered minor injuries and police say the investigation is ongoing.
Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Patrick Madahbee says Tuck and the children were returning home from a Little Native Hockey League tournament in Mississauga, Ont., when the collision occurred.
