Two people killed in collision on Highway 144 in Greater Sudbury
CBC
Two people were killed in a crash late Thursday afternoon which occurred on Highway 144, near Marina Road in Greater Sudbury.
Police said a sports utility vehicle (SUV) was travelling north on the highway, and while passing, collided with a pickup truck travelling in the same direction. The SUV then collided with a commercial vehicle, police said.
Both the driver and passenger in the SUV were pronounced dead at the scene.
In August the CBC reported that Chantelle Gorham, a resident who lives near the location where the collision occurred, petitioned the Ministry of Transportation to make that section of the highway safer.
"It's always been a corner that you knew to be leery of, as long as I can remember," she said. "So this issue doesn't go back years or decades, like it literally goes back generations from the time that it was put in," Gorham said.
Gorham led a protest on the side of the highway on Aug. 11.
In a follow-up interview on Friday, Gorham said she spent Thursday evening in tears, after she heard about the fatal crash.
