An 18-year-old male was pronounced dead at the scene as the result of the collision, with a 16-year-old male transported to a trauma centre in Hamilton with non-life threatening injuries.

Months later on Sept. 24, 2026, a 17-year-old from Guelph was arrested by Wellington County OPP and charged with dangerous operation causing death.

The teen has since been released from police custody and scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Guelph at a future date to face the charge. A date has not yet been set.

Under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, the teen’s identity won’t be disclosed.
