A 61-year-old man is dead after the SUV he was driving was struck by a stolen pickup truck near Delburne yesterday, Dec. 19.

Shortly after 11 a.m. on Highway 21, the SUV was struck by the stolen Dodge Ram when it crossed the centre line. The driver was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead; a female passenger was also taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

Two men fled the stolen vehicle, but the 25-year-old and 46-year-old were brought back to the accident scene by witnesses. Both suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Charges are pending.
