Officers from the Peterborough County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and emergency services responded to a report of a serious single vehicle accident that closed Fifes Bay Road.
Just after 1:00am on Friday, May 22, 2026, the Peterborough County OPP and emergency personnel were alerted to an incident on Fifes Bay Road in Selwyn Township.
When they arrived, officers, EMS, and fire crews found a car that had been heading southbound on Fifes Bay Road when it seemed to have lost control and ended up in the ditch. The driver, a 28-year-old man from Peterborough, was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Fifes Bay Road is still closed between Lily Lake Road and Lindsay Road (County Road 1) while officials manage the scene of the accident. It is expected to reopen later this morning.
