PETERBOROUGH-Peterborough County OPP and emergency crews responded to the scene of a single motor vehicle collision that occurred on County Road 40 between County Road 6 and Webster Road late last night.
At approximately 11:15pm officers received a call reporting a single motor vehicle collision on County Road 40. A pickup truck had left the roadway entering the ditch and striking a rock wall at which point the driver was ejected from the vehicle. There were no other occupants in the vehicle according to police.
The driver, a 27-year-old male from Norwood, was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased. No name was released.
County Road 40 remained closed for several hours while police investigated, and members trained in collision reconstruction measured and documented the scene.
Anyone who may have witnessed or has video/dash camera footage of the collision and has not spoken with police is asked to contact the Peterborough County OPP Detachment at 1-888-310-1122.
With the passing of federal Bill C-18 you will no longer be able to access local news on Facebook or through a Google search once the bill is enacted. That means you won’t be able to find Kawartha 411 News on Facebook or through a Google search. This will devastate local news across the country including here in Kawartha Lakes. Contact your local member of parliament to let them know that local news matters to you and to repeal Bill C-18.Â
