According to Const. Mark Fischer, the driver of the Toyota Celica was travelling east on Clark Boulevard, lost control of the car and smashed into a light pole.

“The cause of the crash has yet to be determined,” said Fischer who also stated that speed may be a factor. “It (speed) is not necessarily excessive even though the damage is extensive … The poll acts like a knife and cuts into the car.”

The 24-year-old driver from Brampton was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police will continue to investigate and are asking anyone with information about this crash to call them.
