“What I’ve been told is that road conditions did not play a factor,” said Gatto.

The speed limit on that stretch of road is 70 km/h.

Both vehicles suffered severe damage and ended up on either side of the road.

Police closed Victoria Road from Clair Road to Maltby Road, and traffic was diverted away from the scene through the afternoon rush hour.

Police are looking for witnesses, and anyone with information is asked to call 519-824-1212.
