“Unfortunately, two of them have since been pronounced deceased,” OPP Const. Jeff Hare said.

“A very unfortunate set of events. These are never easy. They’re not easy for first responders, and they are certainly not easy for the families that have been devastated this morning.”

This story is developing. More to come.
