A 24-year-old Milton man is dead after his vehicle hit a tree in Selwyn Township early Tuesday afternoon (December 19).
Just before 12:30 p.m., Peterborough County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and emergency crews responded to the scene of a single-vehicle collision on Pinehill Road south of Bridgenorth.
A vehicle had been driving westbound on Pinehill Road when the driver failed to negotiate a sharp turn. The vehicle left the roadway and landed on its side, striking a tree.
The driver had to be extricated from the vehicle by the fire department. Although he was treated at the scene, his injuries were so severe they resulted in his death. The driver, a 24-year-old man from Milton, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Pinehill Road was closed between 5th Line of Selwyn and Steinkrauss Drive for more than seven hours while police investigated and documented the scene.
Anyone who may have witnessed or has video/dash camera footage of the collision and has not spoken with police is asked to contact the Peterborough County OPP Detachment at 1-888-310-1122.
