Fatal Accident Update

A 47 year old man from eastern Ontario is dead following a single
vehicle accident on the Kenora By-Pass.

The OPP says an eastbound tractor-trailor unit left the highway
and came to rest down an embankment around 3:00 this morning.

After leaving the road, the semi caught fire and was totally destroyed.

The Longbow Lake Volunteer Fire Department helped extinguish the
blaze.

Police say the driver of the rig was not able to get out of the cab.

The driver was from Cardinal, Ontario, but his name has not been
released.
