1 dead, 5 hurt in crash

Ontario Provincial Police say a man is dead and five others were injured in an early-morning crash in Kingston.

Early indications suggest an SUV crashed into the guard rail on the highway and was stopped in the passing lane at about 5 a.m. on Saturday when it was hit by an approaching vehicle.

Const. Roop Sandhu says that collision led to a chain reaction involving four vehicles in total, including one that was hauling a camper trailer.

Sandhu says the deceased, who had been driving the SUV, was out on the roadway — likely checking the damage from the initial crash — when his vehicle was struck.

He says five others were taken to hospital, but their lives are not thought to be in danger.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the crash, and their investigation is ongoing.
