One person is dead and another is being treated for life-threatening injuries after a two-vehicle crash in Huron County Saturday morning.

Around 5:30 a.m., police responded to a serious collision between a tractor-trailer and a passenger van near the intersection of London Road and Huron Park Road in Centralia, Ont., according to provincial police.

A 36-year-old Ayr resident in the van was pronounced dead at the scene, while another passenger, a 31-year-old from Goderich, was airlifted to a trauma centre with life-threatening injuries, police said.
