Halton Regional Police say a 19-year-old man from Milton, Ont. was the fatality in a single-vehicle crash in the town on Tuesday morning.

Investigators believe the collision happened around 6 a.m. at Derry Road between McNiven Road and Twiss Road.

“The male was the driver and there were no passengers in the vehicle,” Const. Ryan Anderson said in a release.

Police closed off Derry Road for hours during an investigation and have not revealed the identity of the deceased.

The road fatality is the second in as many days in the region. On Monday, an 81-year-old man was struck and killed crossing Maple Avenue, near Maple Crossing Boulevard, just after 7 a.m. in Burlington.

The man died in hospital from his injuries.
