2 Teens Dead After Collision Between Massey & Espanola

Two teens are dead and three more people injured after a collision on Highway 17 between Massey and Espanola.

Manitoulin Ontario Provincial Police say they responded to the two-vehicle collision on Highway 17 in Sables-Spanish Rivers Township shortly before 1 o'clock this morning, finding a pickup truck had collided head-on with a commercial motor vehicle.

A 19-year-old from Espanola was pronounced dead at the scene while a 17-year-old also from Espanola was taken to hospital, but died from their injuries - three other people were taken to hospital with unspecified injuries.

This comes just days after a similar fatal collision in that area: a 78-year-old from White River was killed in a collision also involving a commercial vehicle on Highway 17 in Sables-Spanish Rivers Township around midnight Friday morning.
