The OPP is investigating after a person was struck and killed by a tree in Renfrew County.
The OPP says just before 3:30pm on Saturday (May 21st, 2022), officers responded to a cottage on Calabogie Road in Greater Madawaska for reports that someone had been struck by a falling tree.
A 44-year-old was transported to the hospital and pronounced dead.
The investigation continues.
Upwards of 30,000 homes in Renfrew County and over 300,000 across Ontario were without power due to storms.
Crews worked throughout the day to restore power to area residents.
Hydro One says additional resources have been called in to assist with restoration efforts and they expect it will take several days to restore power to all customers due to the significant damage.
