It’s the second fatal single-vehicle collision in Lambton County this week. A Walpole Island resident, 84, died after a vehicle left River Road and entered the St. Clair River off the First Nation about 3:30 p. m. Tuesday, OPP said.
There have been several fatal collisions in Brooke-Alvinston in recent years, including back-to-back crashes in early 2024 on Aberfeldy Line near Cairo Road and at Rokeby Line and Inwood Road. In 2022, a truck driver died but saved others’ lives after a crash on Inwood Road and Courtright Line.
