The driver of the black pickup truck, a 29-year-old man from Kenora, Ontario, was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The driver of the red pickup truck, a 37-year-old Kenora man, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Icy roads are believed to have been a factor in the collision.

Neither truck was carrying passengers at the time.
