Charges laid in crash that killed 2

Provincial police say charges have been laid against a London man in connection with a collision that claimed the lives of two people.

Just after 5:20 a.m. Tuesday, emergency crews were called to Highbury Avenue between Ilderton Road and Ten Mile Road, where three vehicles had collided. Ten people were taken to hospital, four with life threatening injuries. Two of those people, a 23-year-old and a 26-year-old from London, later died from their injuries.

On Wednesday, the Middlesex County Ontario Provincial Police announced that a 26-year-old man is now charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing death and three counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm.

Highbury between Ilderton and Ten Mile was closed for approximately nine hours while investigators were on scene and crews worked to clear debris.
