One person was seriously injured March 16 when three commercial motor vehicles collided on Highway 17 in the northwestern Ontario community of Dryden.
Ontario Provincial Police responded to the crash just after 9 a.m., along with fire and EMS. One person was taken to hospital, police said in a news release Tuesday.
The investigation is ongoing, the OPP said, but the highway has reopened.
“Traffic safety remains a top priority of the OPP and is a key component of the OPP’s public safety mandate,” police said.
“Investigations resulting in the loss of life and serious injuries can be complex to investigate. As the vast majority of collisions are preventable, thorough and accurate investigations help ensure that motorists who cause these collisions are held accountable for their driving behaviours. The victims and their families deserve no less.”
