Guelph police are reporting that a single-vehicle crash late Wednesday night has claimed the life of one man.
Police say the collision occurred in the Victoria Road North and Goldenview Drive around 11:44 p.m.
Reports say an older model sedan crashed into a hydro pole, and that a 20-year old Guelph man needed to be extricated from the vehicle.
Police now say next of kin have been notified and the male has been identified as Jacob Messore.
He was the lone occupant and was transported to Guelph General Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
A Forensics identification team was at the scene overnight trying to determine the cause of the crash.
