Commuters ran into some issues this morning while traveling in and out of Peterborough as two separate crashes resulted in the closure of a portion of the highway.
One of those stretches was from Highway 28 to Indian River Road because of a fatal crash involving a tractor trailer and a pickup truck at around 6:30am.
Officials say that as a result of the collision, the 49-year-old male driver of the passenger vehicle was pronounced as deceased at the scene.
Anyone who may have dashcam footage of the collision or witnessed it and has not yet spoken with police is asked to contact the Peterborough County OPP at (705)742-0401 or the OPP non-emergency number at 1-888-310-1122.
