Ontario Provincial Police reported five traffic deaths and Ottawa police reported one. Around 3 a.m., a driver was killed in a single-vehicle crash on the 174 freeway shortly after the 417-174 split. Ottawa police are investigating but have not released any other details about the crash or the victim. This comes after several other clashes in Ottawa over the past week. Ottawa police are encouraging drivers to use caution. “Tragically, five people have been killed on Ottawa streets in the last week. Five families are mourning the loss of their loved ones,” police said in a tweet. “Please be careful on the roads. Your full attention is required at all times.” OPP-controlled roads saw four collisions on Saturday. “It was a very tragic weekend on the roads of Eastern Ontario,” said OPP A/Sgt. Erin Cranton in an email to CTV News. “We had four fatal collisions (Lanark, Frontenac, PEC and SD&G) and five deaths.” Around 6 a.m., OPP responded to a single-vehicle crash on Highway 401 between Dickinson Street and Upper Canada Road in South Stormont. The driver was killed and the passenger was airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries. The deceased has not yet been identified. At 12:52 p.m., police responded to a crash involving a driver and bicyclist on Highway 15 between Cunningham and Kingston Mills roads in the Kingston area. The cyclist, Hajiasad Ahangarant, 90, was taken to hospital but later died. Around 3:15 p.m., a 63-year-old motorcyclist crashed and was killed on Highway 511 near Tatlock Road in Lanark Highlands Township. Police did not identify the driver beyond their age. The OPP later tweeted about a single-vehicle crash on County Road 23 in Prince Edward County that killed two people. The victims remain unknown. Each of these conflicts remains under investigation. Cranton said with the onset of summer, more people are traveling. “There is an increase in traffic and people are going on vacation. Every driver can help make our roads safer by avoiding unnecessary risks, obeying traffic laws and being patient with those who share the road,” said Cranton, “The road safety remains a top priority for the OPP and the hope is that everyone will arrive at their destination safely. “Investigating fatal collisions is never an easy job. Investigators take their time and conduct thorough investigations.”
