The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) continues to investigate the cause of a crash that resulted in two fatalities on Highway 3 in Leamington on April 29, 2015.

The OPP, Leamington Fire Service as well as Windsor- Essex Emergency Medical Services (EMS) responded to the crash at approximately 5:20 p.m.

The two deceased persons are identified as Wayne Babcock, age 44 of Windsor and Leslie Kiss, age 57 of Lakeshore.

Both were passengers in the third row of a Honda Odyssey van that was travelling westbound on Highway 3 just west of Morse Road, when it lost control and flipped.

Four other occupants of the van, one male and two females, all of Windsor, sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries in the crash.

They were transported to a local hospital for treatment. One other occupant, a male also from Windsor, walked away from the crash without injuries.

The OPP Technical Traffic Collision Investigators (TTCI) spent several hours investigating the cause of the crash while the road remained closed.

The investigation as well as the possibility of charges is ongoing.

Further updates will be provided as they become available.
