A driver was killed in a single-vehicle collision along the banks of the Grand River northwest of Caledonia just after midnight on Tuesday.

The motorist died at the scene.

The crash happened on Highway 54 between Onondaga Townline Road and Harrison Road, said OPP Sgt. Ed Sanchuk.

That stretch of highway follows the river between Caledonia and Brantford. The fatal crash happened on the border of Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation.

Investigators closed the road and were expected to be on the scene until noon.

“Devastating news, especially after police officers knocked on family members’ doors to say their loved one is not coming home,” Sanchuk said in a video posted to social media.
