Ontario Provincial Police say a man is dead after falling out of a moving minibus late Saturday.

Emergency crews were called Highway 11 in Severn Township just before 11 p.m.

When they arrived, they found a minibus stopped on the shoulder of the highway, and a short distance away, a man with life-threatening injuries.

The man was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced deceased.

“The initial investigation revealed the deceased was an occupant on the minibus and fell out of the moving vehicle, which struck him resulting in fatal injuries,” said OPP in a  news release.

Highway 11 southbound between New Brailey Road and Ego Road was closed for several hours and has since been reopened.

Police are asking witnesses or those with dashcam footage to call them at 705-325-3536 or 1-888-310-1122.
