Man rushed to hospital in critical condition after Flamborough crash: Hamilton police

Hamilton police say a man has been rushed to hospital after a single-vehicle crash in Flamborough, Ont.

It happened on Brock Road between Regional Road 97 and Concession 8 shortly before 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, when media relations Const. Krista-Lee Ernst says the car went off the road and into a ditch, striking a hydro pole.

The driver, a 22-year-old man, was the only person in the vehicle.

The man was driving southbound on Brock Road when his car — a silver vehicle with two doors — left the road and “came to rest on its roof” in a ditch, Hamilton police said.

He was transported to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition.

Ernst said Brock Road will be closed in the area for several hours while the Collision Reconstruction Unit investigates.
