Waterloo Regional Police say they received reports of a possible abduction or assault of a female around 9:30 a.m. in Cambridge.

Officers found the red car with a man driving and a woman in the passenger seat and attempted to pull over them over.

The van did not stop for the officer and police gave chase.

Police say at 9:55 a.m. the van crashed head-on with an oncoming transport truck on Highway 6 near Campbellville Rd.

The man and woman were killed instantly. The transport truck driver and the Waterloo police officers involved in the chase were not injured.

Ontario Provincial Police closed Highway 6 in both directions between Freelton Rd. and Concession 10 for most of the day. The remains reopened at 9pm
