Police have charged a Delaware man with impaired driving after a horrific crash that killed two people and critically injured two others.

The crash at the intersection of Highbury Avenue and Dundas Street, around 2 a.m. Thursday, killed 46-year-old Jerry Pitre of London and 23-year-old Cody Andrews of New Hamburg, police said.

The two deceased were in a vehicle with two other people, heading east on Dundas Street when their vehicle was struck by a southbound car speeding down Highbury.

The two other people who were in the vehicle with Pitre and Andrews remain in hospital in fair condition, police said Friday.

Scott Altiman, 31, is charged with two counts of impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing death and two counts of impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm. He is also charged with two counts of criminal negligence causing death and two counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm. He was in hospital Friday morning with serious injuries.

Police did not release any other details about the crash Friday morning and have asked for witnesses or anyone with information about the circumstances to contact them.

The bare facts from the police report and the scene — two wrecked vehicles, a 100-metre stretch of debris, including a car tire, on both sides of Highbury — portrayed a moment of horror and tragedy at an east-end intersection while most Londoners slept.

The impact sent one car into the parking lot of a Petro-Canada station on the southeast corner of the intersection, and fast-thinking gas station workers are being credited with turning off the fuel pump before a fire or explosion could be sparked.

The second vehicle crashed into the front porch of a house on the west side of Highbury about 100 metres south of the intersection.

Police are asking that anyone with information contact them at 519-661-5680

Damn. Looks pretty bad.

Didn't read yet but going to guess the 1987 occupants didn't make it.

Looks like the 2 in the back seat died and the 2 in the front are in critical....

Yikes - thats some pretty pulverized debris

Wow that is bad. It's pretty clear that you can see how technology in cars has changed, comparing the condition of those 2 cars after the crash.

The insurance institute did a frontal offset collision test between an 09 Malibu and a 59 Bel Aire. The results were not pretty for the Bel Aire

It's not the condition of the cars, looked at as a whole, that matters so much, but rather, the condition of the occupant compartments that matters. Via more of the front of the car crumpling easier, it increases the time of the collision, which reduces the forces on the occupants. If you had some sort of solid iron vehicle that could run into a wall at 55 mph, and move away with barely any damage to the vehicle, that'd be just fine for the vehicle, but very bad for the occupants, whose stop time became so much shorter.

The intersection on google maps (from the drunk's perspective traveling south on Highbury Ave):

What's incredible is that the Dodge traveled more that 300 feet through the intersection after the impact. He must have been flying. Must have hit the Buick on the driver's side toward the rear of the car. The Buick probably spun wildly after the impact, as it didn't go far at all.

Man, I hate being on the roads at 2 AM. I slow down at every intersection and don't trust that anyone is going to stop at a red light. I spent many years closing up bars and know that the number of drunk drivers who get caught driving is just a tiny fraction of the number on the roads.

Safety tech has come a long way just in 30 years. You don't have to go back to 1959, it's night and day between an 80s Buick and a more modern car
