The Brantford Police Service is asking for the public’s help as they investigate a fatal two-vehicle collision that occurred on March 24, 2026.
The incident took place at the intersection of Charing Cross and North Park Streets at approximately 10:38 a.m. One of the drivers involved, a man in his 70s from Brantford, was taken to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Police, the Brantford Fire Department, and Brant Brantford Paramedics responded to the scene.
Investigators determined that one of the vehicles hit and knocked down a utility pole before being involved in a secondary collision at the intersection. The damage to the pole resulted in a power outage that impacted approximately 5,600 GrandBridge Energy customers. Power was restored to most residents within a few hours following the necessary repairs.
The police are requesting that anyone who may have witnessed the event or who has dashcam footage from the area around 10:40 a.m. contact the authorities. Information can be provided to Constable Shane Seibert at 519-756-0113, extension 2204.
