OPP has announced charges more than two months after a triple fatal crash involving a transport truck and an SUV near Listowel.

Police say the crash occurred on June 21 just after 6:30 p.m. at the intersection of Perth Road 178 and Perth Line 88/Fordwich Line.

According to police, first responders noticed a heavily damaged SUV and a tractor-trailer near the intersection.

The driver and two passengers in the SUV were pronounced dead at the scene. A two-year-old boy who was also in the SUV was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police say the toddler has since been released.
