Provincial police have released the name of a 21-year-old Norfolk County man killed in a crash involving a tractor northeast of Port Dover.
Travis O'Brien died when the southbound tractor he was driving on the shoulder of Hwy. 6, was hit from behind by a pick-up truck that was heading in the same direction at around 3:50pm on Sunday. The force of the crash caused the tractor to roll into the ditch, throwing O'Brien from the machine.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. The 55-year-old pick-up truck driver was not injured.
Hwy. 6 was closed between East Quarter Line Rd. and Second Concession of Woodhouse for roughly six hours to allow technical traffic collision investigators to examine the scene. It has since been reopened.
Police say the investigation is ongoing.
