Police Appeal for Public Assistance in Highway Tragedy
The Greenstone Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has issued a public appeal for information following a devastating two-vehicle collision that resulted in the deaths of four people. The fatal crash occurred on Highway 11 on December 17, 2025.
Investigators are specifically requesting that anyone who was traveling in the area around the time of the collision and may have captured relevant footage on a dashboard camera (dashcam) to come forward. This evidence is considered crucial to piecing together the events that led to the tragedy.
Details of the Investigation
While the OPP has confirmed the basic facts of the incident—a two-vehicle collision on Highway 11 in the Greenstone jurisdiction that killed four individuals—many specific details remain under investigation. The police have not released the identities of the victims or the exact location along the highway pending notification of next of kin.
The appeal for dashcam footage is a standard but vital part of modern collision reconstruction. Such video can provide investigators with an unbiased account of vehicle speeds, positions, and driver actions immediately before the impact, which is often unavailable from other sources.
Community Impact and Ongoing Probe
Fatal collisions of this magnitude have a profound impact on small Northern Ontario communities. The OPP's Greenstone Detachment, which serves a large and often remote area, is leading the investigation with support from technical traffic collision reconstructionists.
The police have not speculated on potential causes, such as road conditions, speed, or driver impairment, stating that the investigation is ongoing and all possibilities are being examined. The public's cooperation is seen as essential to bringing clarity and closure to the affected families.
Anyone with information or video evidence is urged to contact the Greenstone OPP at their non-emergency number. The OPP emphasizes that even a small piece of footage could be the key to understanding this tragic event.
