An early morning crash in Tiny Township, Ont., has left a 19-year-old in serious condition after he went off the roadway and hit a tree.

Police say the single-vehicle crash just south of the intersection of Concession Road 6 on Simcoe County Road 6 in Tiny Township has resulted in the closure of southbound traffic at that location as well as northbound traffic on Simcoe County Road 6 at Concession Road 4.

Southern Georgian Bay Ontario Provincial Police, along with County of Simcoe Paramedic Services and Tiny Township Fire Services, responded to the crash Friday around 12:30 a.m.

Police say the driver was travelling southbound on Simcoe County Road 6 and left the roadway, striking a tree.

The lone 19-year-old man of Tiny Township was triaged at the scene and transported to a Toronto-area trauma centre for treatment of life-threatening injuries.
