Ontario Provincial Police have identified two people who died after a collision in Norfolk County Thursday afternoon.

The victims, a pair of seniors, were in a motor vehicle when they collided with an SUV at the intersection of Highway 24 and Concession 7 Townsend, just west of Waterford, around 1:40 p.m.

Police said Karl Tabe, 90, the driver of the car, died at the scene. Kathleen Tabe, 80, a passenger in the car, died after being airlifted to a Hamilton hospital.

Three people in the SUV - two adults and one child - were taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injures.
