Two drivers are facing a series of charges, including impaired driving and drug-related counts, in connection with a fatal crash last November in Huron County.
A 45-year-old from Brockton, Ont., was killed in the crash at the intersection of Howick-Turnberry Road and Fordwich Line in Howick Township, just north of Listowel.
The crash involved a pickup truck and another passenger vehicle and a 911 call drew emergency personnel to the scene just after midnight Nov. 5.
