(MUNSEE-DELAWARE FIRST NATION, ON) – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Middlesex County Crime Unit is investigating the death of a female located at the scene of a collision.

On Saturday, April 12, 2025, at approximately 5:30 a.m., members of the Oneida Police Service, Chippewas of the Thames Police Service and Middlesex County and Elgin County OPP, as well as fire and emergency medical services, responded to a single vehicle collision on Jubilee Road, near Dodem Way in Munsee-Delaware First Nation.

A female, located unresponsive at the scene, was transported to hospital where she was pronounced deceased.

It was determined that two males involved in the incident had fled and were involved in the theft of a vehicle. One male was located in the area and was taken into custody without incident.

The second male was involved in a collision in Oxford County and then stole another vehicle, which was later involved in a collision on Highway 24 in the County of Brant. The male then fled on foot.

Members of the Brantford Police Service (BPS), OPP Aviation Services, the OPP Emergency Response Team and Canine Units from the OPP and BPS located and arrested an individual at a nearby residence without further incident. No injuries were reported for either of the males.

Both males remain in custody in relation to the stolen vehicles and are scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice located in London at a later date. The investigation into the multiple collisions is continuing.
