One person is dead after a collision north of the Sault earlier this week.
Sault Ste. Marie Police say a 63-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene of Monday's multi-vehicle collision in the 2600 block of Great Northern Road - or Highway 17 North - near Sixth Line.
According to investigators, a southbound minivan crossed the centre line, striking a northbound pickup truck hauling a trailer - a southbound pickup truck later struck the minivan from behind, while a northbound cube truck avoided the other vehicles, but ended up in a ditch.
Police note the deceased was in the front passenger seat of the minivan, while six other occupants of the vehicle were taken to hospital with various injuries, ranging from "life threatening" to "non-life threatening".
Though they have not been publicly identified, police say the van's occupants are not from the Sault area.
The pickup drivers and the driver and the passenger of the cube truck were also taken to hospital with "non-life-threatening" injuries.
