EARLTON — A stretch of Highway 11 in northern Ontario was closed for more than 20 hours after a fatal crash.
A northbound tractor trailer collided with a southbound flatbed, five-ton truck just south of Earlton, about 180 kilometres north of North Bay, around 11:50 a.m. on Wednesday.
The driver of the flatbed, 44-year-old Remi Breault of New Liskeard, died at the scene while the driver of the big rig suffered minor injuries.
Highway 11 was closed at Earlton between Highway 562 and Highway 571 as police investigated and cleaned up the crash. Police on Thursday at 8:30 a.m. said the road had reopened.
