One person is dead after an early-morning crash northwest of London.

Middlesex OPP say they responded to Eight Mile Road between Denfield Road and Hyde Park Road around 6 a.m. Friday.

A black pickup truck travelling west on Eight Mile Road went off the roadway and wound up in the ditch on the south side of the road and rolled.

Officers say the driver died and his vehicle was the only one involved. Shortly after 3:30 p.m., he was identified as Jason Derks, 30, of Middlesex Centre.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation and it’s unknown if this morning’s winter road conditions played a role in the incident.

The roadway was closed as part of the investigation until noon on Friday.
