Three people are dead and a child has been rushed to hospital following a two-vehicle crash in North Perth.

The Ontario Provincial Police said on Friday shortly after 6:30 p.m., a tractor trailer and minivan collided at the intersection of Perth Road 178 and Fordwich Line, northwest of Listowel.

The driver and two passengers from a sports-utility vehicle were pronounced dead at the scene. Police say the two-year-old boy was transported from the scene to an area hospital. He remains in hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The deceased have been identified as 60-year-old Walter Yetman, 58-year-old Donna Yetman and 28-year-old Stephanie Roloson.  All three were residents of London, Ontario.

The driver of the transport truck was taken to hospital but has since been released.

The intersection of Perth Road 178 and Fordwich Line remained closed while investigators from the West Region OPP Technical Collision Investigation (TCI) Team are continuing the investigation. The road re-opened just after 5 a.m. Saturday morning.

Any witnesses to this crash are asked to contact Huron OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or (519) 524-8314.
