 The Upper Ottawa Valley (UOV) detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are investigating a fatal collision that occurred on Highway 17 in Laurentian Valley Twp.  

On February 17, 2024, just after 8:00 p.m., OPP responded to a collision that claimed the life of a woman. No one else was injured. As a result a section of Highway 17 was closed for several hours. 

OPP are asking anyone who was travelling in that area around the time of the collision if they observed a tractor trailer parked in the area or have dashcam footage from their travels then to contact police at 1-888-310-1122.

Officers from the UOV detachment were assisted by Traffic Collision Investigation (TCI) officer and a Reconstructionist. The Office of the Chief Coroner for Ontario is also engaged.

The investigation is continuing.
