“Firefighters on scene had to extricate the male passenger, and as a result – he was pronounced deceased on scene. So I’m sad to say we are now involved in a fatal motor vehicle collision investigation.”

Sanchuk says the victim’s identity is being withheld as next of kin is notified – and there’s no word on charges at this time.

Perth Road 131 was shut down between Perth line 80 and Line 83 for hours overnight for the investigation.
