Three people have died following a six-vehicle collision in Lakeshore on Wednesday morning, according to Ontario Provincial Police.
Emergency crews were called to County Road 22 at approximately 6:07 a.m. Preliminary findings suggest the crash began when a wrong-way vehicle struck another vehicle, causing minor damage without injuries, before colliding head-on with another vehicle.
Both drivers suffered life-threatening injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene.
A passenger from each of the two vehicles was taken to Windsor Regional Hospital with life-threatening injuries. One of those passengers later died, while the other was airlifted to London Health Sciences Centre for further treatment.
Police said four additional vehicles were involved in the crash. Those vehicles sustained minor damage, and no injuries were reported among their occupants.
County Road 22 was temporarily closed between Manning Road and West Pike Road for investigation, but has since reopened.
