Six Nations Police say the van involved in a head-on collision that killed three people in Caledonia on Wednesday appears to have been involved in a hit-and-run crash in Six Nations just minutes earlier.

Police confirm they found a licence plate at the hit-and-run scene that matches one of the vehicles in the fatal crash that killed 12-year-old Grace King and 14-year-old Waagosh Secord.

The girls were among seven children who were riding southbound in a van when a northbound car, driven by 21-year-old Wyatt Martin of Six Nations, crossed into their path and collided head-on.

Martin also died at the scene.

Two other children injured in the crash remain in hospital in intensive care.
