On October 1, 2024, just after 7am, emergency services responded to a report of a vehicle in a ditch on County Road 14 near Tower Road, just west of Enterprise. A witness discovered debris on the road and found the vehicle half-submerged in water, with no one visible inside or nearby.
The Fire Department, Paramedic Services, and Police arrived at the scene. Firefighters conducted a search and found the driver, a 36-year-old from Deseronto, a short distance from the vehicle. Unfortunately, the driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the vehicle may have left the road the previous night. The cause of the incident remains under investigation with the assistance of Technical Collision Investigators and a Collision Reconstructionist.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
