A 16-year-old has succumbed to their injuries following a crash in Constance Bay on Sept. 1.

Ottawa police confirmed the death in a press release saying the teen passed this week.

The single-vehicle crash occurred on Baillie Avenue around 11:00 p.m. It’s a small residential street close to the water.

The vehicle is described as a utility task vehicle (UTV), which is an off-road machine similar to an ATV with seats for two people.

Police said the teen was a passenger of the UTV when they suffered life-threatening injuries.

Witnesses are being sought as well as anyone who might have surveillance footage of the UTV driving around Constance Bay between 10:00 and 11:15 p.m. on Sept. 1st.

Those with information to share are encouraged to contact Ottawa police’s Fatal Collisions Unit at 613-236-1222, extension 2345.
