(GREATER NAPANEE, ON) - The province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has invoked its mandate following a collision in Greater Napanee.
On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at approximately 10:55 pm, an officer from the Lennox and Addington (L&A) Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) attempted to conduct a traffic stop on Bath Road. Shortly after, the vehicle entered the ditch and then into Lake Ontario, where it became submerged. It is unknown how many occupants were inside the vehicle.
Several resources, including the Prince Edward County OPP Marine Unit, OPP Aviation Services, the OPP East Region Traffic Incident Management and Enforcement Team, the OPP Underwater Search and Recovery Unit and the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre, were deployed and continue efforts to locate any possible occupants.
Highway 33 is currently closed at County Road 21, west of Bath in Greater Napanee, as the on-scene investigation continues.
