Driver Killed In Crash Near Wingham

A man is dead after a single-vehicle rollover crash east of Wingham.

The Ontario Provincial Police say on Friday around 7:30pm, a small sedan was travelling north on Belmore Line when the driver lost control of the vehicle at Howick-Turnberry Rd. and left the road.  The vehicle struck a culvert, rolled several times and the driver, who was the only person in the vehicle, was ejected.
