Victims of deadly London-area collisions identified

Two Londoners have been identified as the people killed in two separate collisions just half-an-hour apart in the south-end of the city and in Middlesex Centre.

Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Ilderton Road and Adelaide Street just north of London around 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday after two SUVs collided.

The driver of one of the vehicles, Dennies Sebastian, 20, of London, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two people from the second vehicle were taken to hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.

Shortly after that collision, another serious two-vehicle crash brought first responders to Bradley Avenue near Jackson Road in south London. A car was partially pinned under a transport truck that had overturned. The driver of the car, 39-year-old Sarah Jones, of London, had to be cut from the wreckage. She was rushed to hospital where she later died from her injuries.

Jones was the managing editor of Business London Magazine.

Police continue to investigate the cause of both collisions.

Anyone with information about the Middlesex Centre crash is asked to call OPP at 1-888-310-1122, while those who witnessed the Bradley Avenue collision can call London police at 519-661-5670
