A Caledon man has been identified as the victim in Wednesday's fatal crash between a car and transport truck on Highway 17, west of Ottawa.
Ontario Provincial Police say the 51-year-old was driving a 2006 Toyota Corolla when he collided with a transport truck on Highway 17 around 10 a.m. Wednesday, August 26th, 2015.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the transport truck was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Witnesses say the Caledon man was in the valley on an annual vacation with his wife and two kids. His family was staying at the Logos Land Resort when the crash happened.
Val Boldt works at the Logos Land Resort and witnessed the accident.
"I just happened to glance out the window and I saw the back part of the transport cab hitting the dirt on the side of the road and it went flying. I thought, oh no," said Boldt.
Police say the car was driving eastbound when it entered the westbound lane and was struck head on by the transport truck. The transport truck, carrying a load of sawdust, was fully engulfed when emergency responders arrived on scene.
