OPP have identified the person killed in a Highway 11 crash yesterday.

The two-vehicle collision involving a pickup truck and utility terrain vehicle (UTV) happened around 1:30 p.m. on June 15 east of Smooth Rock Falls.

The driver of the UTV, 27-year-old Nathan Reynolds of Gravenhurst, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to James Bay OPP. The driver of the pickup truck was not injured.

A stretch of Highway 11 between Cochrane and Smooth Rock Falls was closed in both directions for hours to allow for the investigation.
