A Norfolk man and a Woodstock woman were killed Thursday night in a collision northeast of Delhi.

The crash on Norfolk Road 4 (Brantford Road) at the intersection of Teeterville Road occurred around 7 p.m.

Norfolk OPP report the driver of the motorcycle – Ken Haviland, 54 – was southbound on Brantford Road with a group of other riders when the collision occurred. Patricia Menard-Williams, 74, was a passenger in a westbound pickup truck driven by an 80-year-old Woodstock man. Police have not released his identity.

Police say charges are pending against the driver. What those charges might be hasn't been specified. The intersection where the collision occurred is controlled by stop signs on the east and west side of Brantford Road.

The fatality near Delhi continues a tragic pattern of motorcycle fatalities in Ontario that ramped up on the civic holiday weekend. OPP report three motorcycle riders in Huron County were killed on the weekend in two separate collisions. A third person suffered life-threatening injuries and remains in hospital in London.

Police say none of the Huron County collisions were the fault of the motorcycle drivers.
