UPDATE: Road reopens after one person killed in crash involving snow plow east of Listowel

An early morning collision involving a plow truck east of Listowel has left one person dead.

Emergency crews were called to Perth Line 86 between Perth Road 136 and Perth Road 140 after a passenger vehicle and plow collided just after 6 a.m. on Thursday.

The driver of the vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. That person has been identified as a 33-year-old Gowanstown resident, but their name has not been released.

The plow driver was not hurt, Perth OPP said.
