39-year-old from Cambridge, two youths killed in Norwich crash

A 39-year-old from Cambridge and two youths, a 13-year-old and a 17-year-old, are dead after a serious collision between a transport truck and an SUV in Norwich Township.

Details coming from Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said calls came in at around 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Mar. 31, of the incident at the intersection of Highway 59 and Quaker Street in Norwich, just south of Woodstock.

Officers said five people were occupying the SUV at the time of the incident, three of whom were pronounced dead at the scene, with two others being taken by Ornge air ambulance as well as ground paramedics to hospital for serious, life-threatening injuries.

The three who were pronounced dead at the scene include the 39-year-old from Cambridge, as well as the two teenagers who were from Tillsonburg.

While details as to the ages of the three who were killed have been revealed, no further information has been given by OPP about everyone who was impacted.

OPP noted the driver of the transport truck was not hurt.

Investigations are still underway through both West Region and Oxford detachments of OPP, looking to find the series of events that led to the collision.

The area was closed for several hours as the initial investigation was underway, but has since reopened.

OPP are now asking for any information, including dash-cam and security footage, as well as any witnesses to reach out.
