Two people are dead and another was sent to hospital following a crash in Hamilton’s west end.
Police closed off a stretch of Highway 52 at Powerline Road just after 10:30 a.m. amid a collision between a sedan and a full-size car.
Hamilton police say the deceased is a man and a woman in their 80s who were travelling along the highway in a Chevy Impala.
One died at the scene while the other was taken to a trauma centre before expiring, according to paramedics.
A 50-year-old woman, who was the sole occupant of a black Ford Focus, was sent to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Investigators believe the Impala was travelling southbound on Highway 52 when it lost control and veered into the northbound lanes, colliding with the oncoming Focus.
The Impala eventually came to a halt off-road on the east side of the highway.
The driver of the Focus has since been released from hospital and recovering at home as of Wednesday, according to police.
Collision reconstruction teams say they are still actively seeking witnesses and requesting any motorists with dash cameras or surveillance footage to come forward.
