Police are seeking dashcam footage after a multi-vehicle collision east of Kemptville Friday evening left one person deceased.

Just after 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 17, OPP were called to the scene of a collision on County Road 43 near Van Burn Street. An eastbound vehicle had crossed the centre line, sideswiping on westbound vehicle before colliding head-on with a second westbound vehicle.

The driver of the eastbound vehicle, identified as an 81-year-old man from Kemptville, was pronounced dead at the scene. OPP say the drivers of the other two vehicles suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

County Road 43 remained closed during the on-scene investigation by Grenville OPP, with assistance by OPP Collision Reconstructionists and Technical Collision Investigation Team members. The road has since reopened.

Anyone with dashcam video showing the collision is asked to call the Grenville County OPP at 1-888-310-1122 and refer to incident # E250068932.
