Highway 3 in Norfolk County, Ont., was closed Tuesday morning after a fatal collision involving a car and a propane truck.
At 5:52 a.m., Norfolk County OPP arrived at the scene of the crash on Highway 3 between Charlotteville Road 10 and Charlotteville East Quarter Line Road. The Norfolk County Fire Department and Norfolk County Paramedic Services also responded.
“The motor vehicle was travelling westbound on Highway 3 and a propane truck was travelling eastbound when the vehicle crossed over (the centre line and) collided with the propane truck,” OPP Const. Ed Sanchuk said in a video posted to Twitter.
“I’m sad to say that we have a deceased male in the vehicle and I am at a loss for words this morning,” Sanchuk said.
