Woman Dies Following Crash On 17

Tragedy on the TransCanada highway just west of Schrieber.

OPP tell us they were called to the scene of a collision last night at around 7, near Whitesand Road.

They found a westbound vehicle had collided with an eastbound vehicle.

Police say the westbound driver, 24-year old Rikki-Leigh Clark of Petawawa was rushed to hospital but died upon arrival.

The other driver was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The highway was closed all night, re-opening late this morning.

  • Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
