Provincial police are investigating a serious single-vehicle crash Monday night in Middlesex Centre that left a 52-year-old London man in hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Middlesex OPP say it happened at Gideon Drive and Carriage Road, just west of the city limits near Komoka, Ont., around 9:44 p.m. when a northbound vehicle failed to stop at the intersection, left the roadway, and rolled into a ravine to the north of the three-way intersection.

The vehicle was seriously damaged in the crash, and crews had to extricate the driver and lone occupant from the vehicle.
