Tragic Accident Claims Life of Pedestrian on Highway 401 in Central Ontario
Authorities are reporting a heartbreaking incident on Highway 401 in central Ontario, where a pedestrian lost their life in a collision between two vehicles near Cochrane Road in the Township of Cramahe last Saturday. The collision occurred in the westbound lanes, where a vehicle was parked near the median, leading to the pedestrian being struck.
Tragically, a 22-year-old man from Chatham was fatally injured and pronounced dead at the scene. As a result of the incident, Highway 401 had to be temporarily closed between Big Apple Drive and County Road 30 for investigation purposes, but has since been reopened to traffic.
