Two Windsor seniors die after their vehicle collided with a tractor-trailer at Inwood Road and Courtright Line in Brooke-Alvinston on Wednesday around 1 pm, Lambton OPP said last week.

Police didn’t release their names.
This is the second fatal crash at the same intersection, about 40 minutes southeast of Sarnia and an hour southwest of London, in two years. Cameron Wilcox, a 67-year-old tanker truck driver from St. Thomas who was later lauded as a hero, died and six people were taken to hospital after a collision there on Aug. 23, 2022. That crash took place on the northeast corner while Wednesday’s was on the southeast corner.
Following a second fatal crash at the same intersection in two years, Brooke-Alvinston Mayor David Ferguson said last week he’s called a Lambton County roads official about potential safety improvements there, although both he and Lambton County Warden Kevin Marriott said they haven’t been approached by any concerned residents about the issue.
