‘What was the driver thinking?': OPP report crash on Highway 21
Highway 21 was closed for a head-on collision between Army Camp Road and Port Franks Road, south of Grand Bend, on July 10, 2025.
A head-on crash in Lambton County has sent one person to hospital with serious life-threatening injuries.
Around 6 a.m. on Thursday, police, fire and EMS responded to Highway 21 near Army Camp Road, about 20 km south of Grand Bend.
According to OPP, a vehicle traveling on Highway 21 tried to pass a transport truck in the fog, colliding with an oncoming vehicle.
The driver of the vehicle attempting to pass, suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and the driver of the oncoming vehicle has serious life-threatening injuries.
OPP Sgt. Ed Sanchuk said, If you wake up and it's foggy outside, pack an ample supply of patience, you're eventually going to arrive at your destination.
'I understand people don't want to be late for work, your bosses will understand, especially due to the weather conditions. If you find yourself behind a transport truck in thick fog, the best place for you is behind that transport truck... This crash didn't need to happen.... this crash was preventable,' said Sanchuk.
Highway 21 remains closed between Army Camp Road and Port Franks Road, and isn't expected to reopen for several hours.
