Three people are dead after a head-on collision east of Cornwall, Ont., Thursday evening. 

Provincial police say emergency crews responded to a collision on County Road 2, near McGibbon Road just after 9 p.m.

Police say an eastbound vehicle crossed into the westbound lane of the roadway, forcing at least two drivers to evade it but a head-on collision happened moments later, causing one of the vehicles to catch fire.
