Five people, including four teenagers from the Greater Toronto Area, are dead following a two-vehicle crash in the Huntsville area late Saturday night.

On Sunday morning, OPP identified the victims as four people between 15 and 17 years old who were in one of the vehicles, and the 42-year-old driver of the second vehicle involved in the collision. 

At approximately 11:10 p.m. on Nov. 25, Huntsville OPP and emergency crews received a call reporting a serious two-vehicle collision involving a westbound Mercedes SUV and an eastbound Ford SUV on Highway 60, near Hidden Valley Road.

OPP say the Mercedes contained four individuals between the ages of 15 and 17 years of age from the North York and Richmond Hill area. All four were pronounced deceased at the scene.

The driver of the Ford, a 42-year-old Huntsville woman, was transported to Huntsville Memorial Hospital where she succumbed to her injuries, according to police.

Highway 60 remained closed for several hours between Hidden Valley Road and Canal Road while police investigated, as collision reconstructions measured and documented the scene. It has since reopened.

No further information to be released at this time.

Anyone who may have witnessed or has video/dash-cam footage of the collision and has not spoken with police is asked to contact the Huntsville OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
