The Lennox and Addington County OPP is asking for the public’s help to identify the victim of a fatal collision in the Belleville area.
On Sunday Aug. 16, shortly after 10:30 p.m. OPP members responded to reports of a pedestrian walking on the Highway 401 eastbound lanes near Highway 37. A short time later officers received a report that the pedestrian had entered the roadway and was struck by and eastbound transport truck. The male was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The male was not carrying any identification and investigators have not been able to determine his identity. It is possible the individual was transient and had been traveling through the area.
