Man Dies in Hwy. 7 Icy Crash
Highway 7 just west of Carleton Place was closed for several hours today in the wake of a crash which killed a Mississauga man.
A 25-year-old male driver of one of the two vehicles involved was pronounced dead at the scene, and a woman who was driving the other vehicle was extricated from the car by Lanark County Rescue workers and airlifted to hospital. The woman, a 55-year-old from Drummond-North Elmsley Twp., sustained serious, but non-life threatening injuries. Names of those involved have not yet been released by police.
Police say the deceased was driving westbound at the time of the crash when his vehicle collided with the eastbound car in the eastbound lane.
The accident happened just west of Ramsay Concession 5A in Mississippi Mills township at about 8 a.m. Conditions at the time were treacherous, with gusting winds and snow creating whitouts.
Police closed the highway for several hours to conduct cleanup and their investigation. Traffic was rerouted east of the crash at Carleton Place and west of the scene at Ramsay Concession 4A.
