Teen succumbs to injuries following Saturday’s crash

A second person has died following a two-vehicle crash in West Nipissing.

The OPP says officers responded to the incident shortly before midnight last Saturday.

A 62-year-old from Sudbury was pronounced dead at the scene.

Three occupants of the other vehicle were transported to area hospitals with serious injuries.

The OPP says a fourth occupant, a 15-year-old from West Nipissing, was later pronounced deceased at hospital.

The OPP says they’re aware of videos and other content circulating on social media about the incident and are asking everyone to consider the impact on the victims of the collision and their families before sharing or reposting.
