Police say a minivan being driven by a 44-year-old Cannington man was traveling south on Regional Road 23 when it was struck by a northbound Honda driven by the man from Toronto.

He was pronounced dead at the scene, while the driver of the minivan suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to a trauma centre in the Toronto area.

The road was closed for several hours for a police investigation and reopened shortly after midnight.
