A 27-year-old male has been arrested for Impaired Driving Causing Death after a two-vehicle collision on Highway 17 resulted in the death of a 69-year-old male.

Police say that the accused was travelling eastbound about six kilometres west of Teulon on Saturday, September 15, 2018, when he hit the shoulder, overcorrected and slammed into a westbound vehicle being driven by the victim.

Both men were taken to hospital but the 69-year-old died from his injuries shortly afterwards.

The 27-year-old remains in hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Investigators are not sure if seat belts were in use but do believe speed was a factor in the collision.

The investigation continues.
