OPP say charges are pending following a fatal crash on the 401 near Dutton Tuesday afternoon.
A woman and child were killed and two other people were taken to hospital when a pickup truck heading east crossed the centre median and struck a westbound van.
The crash happened around 4:30 p.m. near Dutton.
“We had a vehicle cross over into the westbound lane and it struck another vehicle,” said OPP Const. Adam Crewdson.
Two people in the van, 42-year-old Sarah Payne and five-year-old Freya Payne of London, died of their injuries.
A six-year-old boy in the van, William Payne, and the 56-year-old Cambridge man driving the pickup remain in stable condition.
Elgin County OPP say charges are pending.
The 401 was shut down for nearly seven hours but re-opened in both directions at about 11 p.m.
