KITCHENER —
Two people were killed Sunday night after their SUV was struck by a tractor trailer on Highway 401.

The two men who were inside the SUV were killed.
The driver of the tractor trailer was not hurt.
The eastbound lanes of Highway 401 were closed overnight and reopened just before 7 a.m. on Monday.
