OTTAWA — Police have released the name of the Ottawa man who died when he lost control of his Aston Martin and collided head-on with a minivan on the West Hunt Club Road bridge over the Rideau River on Tuesday.

Ottawa police said Dragan Popovic, 45, was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision, which occurred at about 12:10 p.m.

Police said their investigation so far has determined that the Aston Martin driven by Popovic turned right onto Hunt Club Road from Prince of Wales Drive, headed east.

Popovic is believed to have lost control of the car, which crossed the median into the westbound lane, police said.

A Dodge Caravan traveling west into the left turn lane collided with the skidding vehicle, according to police. The driver of the minivan, a 32-year-old woman, suffered a broken leg and chest injuries and was transported to hospital in serious, but stable condition.

The minivan also had three child passengers, who were transported to CHEO.

A four-year-old girl was treated for an injury to her pelvis and other cuts and bruises, and was taken to hospital in serious, but stable condition, according to paramedics. A girl, less than a month old, and a two-year-old boy suffered no injuries, but were taken to hospital as a precaution.

According to paramedics, all three children were properly secured in their child seats.

The bridge was closed in both directions for several hours as collision investigators examined the wreck.

The investigation is ongoing. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor at this time, police said.
