The unidentified 27-year-old man driving the other vehicle also died after being transferred to hospital without vital signs.

The crash on a busy route between Nepean and Barrhaven has prompted a call from the Ottawa councillor who represents the area for governments to consider widening the two-lane roadway.

Singh, 30, was driving in the southbound lane with his fiancée, Allison McCuaig, 32, in the passenger seat when a northbound sedan crossed into his lane and collided with Singh’s sport-utility vehicle.

Singh died at the scene. McCuaig was transported to a trauma centre by Ottawa paramedics with serious abdominal and back injuries.
