0.90 min. | 0 user rating		 Friday, July 30th -- Tecumseh, Ontario -- An 82-year-old Amherstburg man crashed his Buick Regal sedan into the back of a dump truck on County Road 8 (aka North Townline) just west of Walker Road around 10am Friday Morning. There were 2 other elderly male occupants in the Buick, who were both taken to Hotel Dieu Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. According to OPP Traffic Sergeant Rick Gorchinsky, the dump truck was traveling eastbound on County Road 8 when it slowed down to turn left into a business. The man driving the Buick then attempted to pass the dump truck but slammed into the back of it, said Gorchinsky. Emergency crews arrived on scene in minutes and attempted to revive the 82-year-old man by means of CPR. They were unsuccessful. Firefighters on scene had to use the jaws of life to extricate the trapped occupants in the Buick. Witnesses to collision initially tried to use a crowbar to extricate the occupants before Tecumseh Fire & Rescue arrived, but were unsuccessful. The speed limit on this particular section of County Road 8 is 80km/h. Police kept County Road 8 closed down in the area until about 5pm while they conducted their investigation. The deceased has been identified by police as Joseph Bastien of Amherstburg.

The original fort was abandoned by the British/Canadians in 1813 when Southwest Ontario fell into American hands. The Americans started building a smaller fort on the same site but was unfinished at the end of the war, when the region was returned to the British Empire. The fort was finally rebuilt between 1838 and 1840 and served as an important staging area for the 34th (Cumberland) Regiment of Foot that participated in actions around Essex county Ontario during the Upper Canada Rebellion. This fort lasted until 1851 when the last regular forces occupied the site. During the final days of the fort, it was garrisoned by members of the The Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment until it was finally de-militarized From 1859 to 1870, Fort Malden was a lunatic asylum (during which period many of the surviving trees were planted to provide shade). Abandoned once again, the fort was acquired as a park by the Government of Canada in 1937 and remains a National Historic Site to this day known as Fort Malden National Historic Site. The original stone barracks still stand as well as the cooking and laundry facility that was erected <b>...</b>
