Ontario Provincial Police have released the names of two men who died in a fiery crash south of Hamilton early Tuesday that also sent two others to hospital.
It happened just before 7 a.m., said OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt, when a Volvo crossed into the oncoming lanes of Highway 6. Police originally thought the SUV has crossed over into the opposing lanes.
Then the Volvo caught fire. Hamilton fire spokesperson Claudio Mostacci said when firefighters got to the scene, one vehicle was fully engulfed in flames. Its driver, 18-year-old Nolan Harding of Caledonia, was pronounced dead in hospital.
The driver of the SUV, 53-year-old Walter Chamberlain, also of Caledonia, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two men from Dunnville, aged 19 and 44, who were in a third vehicle involved in the crash, were both taken to hospital with minor injuries.
It took fire crews about 15 minutes to douse the car fire, Mostacci said. "You try to put it out before it gets to the gas tank," he said.
Schmidt told CBC News that the roads in the area are wet and it's snowing. "But you can still see the highway lines quite clearly," he said. "The roads weren't a huge factor."
Investigators are now trying to figure out what caused the crash. No cause has been determined. Speed and alcohol have not been ruled out.
