Ontario Provincial Police say a second man has died following a multi-vehicle crash along the St. Lawrence, just east of Cornwall, on Wednesday.
Police were called to a section of County Road 2, around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, after a car struck a minivan. A 20-year-old passenger, Kyle Quesnel of Cornwall, was pronounced dead upon arriving in the hospital. The driver of the vehicle, 20-year-old Jeffery Dobson of South Stormont Township, died of his injuries on Thursday.
A second passenger in Dobson's car, a 19-year-old woman, remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The woman driving the minivan suffered non-life threatening injuries in the crash. She was the only one in the minivan at the time.
A third vehicle was involved, but only after the fact, and the driver did not suffer any injuries.
Police continue to investigate the crash, and say speed and the use of seatbelts are considered as factors in their investigation.
A stretch of County Road 2 was closed for nearly 12 hours.
