One man is dead after two vehicles collided on Highway 69 last evening.
OPP say at approximately 7:30 p.m., a southbound vehicle crossed the centre line and clipped the rear wheels of a commercial motor vehicle. The vehicle then corrected the motion and headed towards the west side ditch. The driver then overcorrected again and came across the centre line in front of another northbound vehicle.
As a result of the collision both vehicles ended up in the east side ditch.
The driver of the southbound vehicle, Alain Lamontagne, 35, from Timmins, was killed in the crash.
The two passengers in the southbound vehicle were rushed to hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the second vehicle was examined at the scene and released.
Officers from the West Parry Sound Detachment responded to the collision which occurred approximately a kilometre south of the Harris Lake Road in The Archipelago Township.
The highway is now open.
The investigation into the cause of the collision continues.
