Ontario Provincial Police have identified the victims of a fatal crash near North Bay early this morning.

Police said 27-year-old Stephane Terbovc and 80-year-old Gertrud Boron, both of Bonfield, died when their vehicles collided on Highway 17 in East Ferris Township around 7:00 a.m.

A passenger in one of the vehicles was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

They are among the four traffic-related deaths reported in the northeast region in the last 24 hours.

A two-vehicle crash on Highway 144 overnight left one man dead.

Police have not yet released his name.

Yesterday, 44-year-old Remi Breault of New Liskeard was killed in a collision on Highway 11 south of Earlton. Police said his five-ton truck collided with a transport.

In all cases, the highways are again open to drivers, and investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the crashes.
