In addition to the OPP, Lakeshore Fire and Rescue and Windsor Essex EMS responded at around 7:15 p.m. to the two-vehicle collision at the intersection of County Road 42 and Renaud Line.
Constable Steven Duguay said Thursday afternoon that a passenger in one of the vehicles succumbed to their injuries. The victim's identity has not been released.
The driver was treated in hospital for injuries, then remanded into custody pending a bail hearing Friday at a Windsor court.
