HAGERSVILLE, ON. CA. (THECOUNT) — A devastating head-on crash in Hagersville has killed Caledonia sports commentator Don Edwards. The crash, which reportedly occurred during a torrential rain storm, also took the life of Edwards’ 18-year-old son, Spencer.
Friends on social media identified Don, 59, and Spencer Edwards, of Caledonia, as the victims in the violent double-fatal crash in Hagersville Wednesday.
Cable 14 issued a statement expressing condolences to the Edwards family:
