Sunday’s fatal crash brings the Thanksgiving weekend death toll to three people on Southwestern Ontario roads.
A 72-year-old Chatham resident died in hospital following a two-vehicle crash on Currie Road, north of Fingal Line, outside of Wallacetown on Saturday afternoon, police said.
Just hours later, an 83-year-old North Perth resident was struck and killed while walking on Highway 23 north of Line 77, north of the community of Atwood, police said.
Police haven’t released the identities of any of the deceased in the three fatal crashes that come as the OPP step up traffic enforcement over the long weekend. Operation Impact, a coordinated campaign to target impaired, aggressive and distracted drivers, began on Friday and runs until Thanksgiving Monday.
