In a statement on Monday, police identified the man killed as Russell resident George St-Pierre.
The tractor was stopped in the middle of the road when the crash occurred at around 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, OPP said. The driver of the car didn’t see the tractor “until the last, last minute,” OPP Const. Melissa Bouchard said.
