One person is dead following a collision involving a pickup truck and a dump truck in Palgrave, Ont., west of Newmarket.

Provincial police say the southbound Dump truck hauling a secondary trailer known as a “pup,” hit a northbound pickup truck head on. A northbound SUV also collided with the dump truck.

Rescue crews worked for hours to free the driver from the pickup, but he did not survive his injuries.

The other two drivers were taken to a hospital in Orangeville with unspecified injuries.

No names or ages have been released.
