A 36-year-old Hamilton man is dead after a two-vehicle crash in Flamborough.

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) says the man was travelling northbound on Highway 8 and attempted to pass traffic.

Police say he saw oncoming traffic in the southbound lanes, and tried to return back to his lane but lost control of the car. The vehicle hit the gravel shoulder and began to spin before being struck by a white van travelling southbound.

The driver of the white van was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

OPP continues to investigate but do not believe weather was a factor in the crash.
