Emergency crews were called to Bronte Road North, just south of Steeles Avenue East, at around 7:10 p.m. Sunday.

“Milton Fire Department, with the assistance of a heavy tow truck, was able to access the submerged vehicle and locate the driver,” police said in a press release.

The man was initially taken to hospital in life-threatening condition, police say, adding that he later died in hospital from his injuries.
