The crash resulted in the closure of Highway 11 until 6:00 a.m. the next morning.
Shane Semple, 40, of Orleans, Ont., died as a result of that crash. He was in the passenger vehicle at the time of the crash.
On Feb. 10 a 63-year-old male from Magnetawan, Ont., was issued a summons to face charges of driving a motor vehicle without a valid permit, and driving a commercial vehicle with a major defect.
The accused is to appear in Geraldton Provincial Offences Act Court March 24, 2015.
