Durham Regional Police said emergency crews responded to the scene on Regional Road 1 north of Foster Drive at around 5:20 p.m.

Police said a black Dodge Journey was heading north on Regional Road 1 when the driver lost control and the vehicle rolled into a field on the side of the road.

The 66-year-old man who was driving and was the only occupant in the vehicle was airlifted to a Toronto-area trauma centre.

He remains there in critical condition.

No other vehicles were involved in the incident.
