A Welland man died after a fatal head-on collision in West Lincoln on Monday afternoon, according to Niagara Regional Police.
Investigators say officers responded to reports of a crash just before 2:30 p.m. near Canborough and Baldwin Roads.
It’s believed the eastbound black Chevrolet Equinox driven by the 26-year-old from Welland was passing another vehicle when it collided head-on with a Dodge Ram pickup driven by a 55-year-old man from Canfield.
Both drivers had to be “mechanically” extricated from their vehicles by Lincoln fire crews, according to police.
