A single-vehicle collision claimed the life of a Niagara Falls man in the early morning hours Sunday on Townline Road in Fort Erie.

The name of the 27-year-old man has not been released pending notification of his family.

Niagara Regional Police say the man was eastbound and lost control of a Dodge Durango, went into the ditch and then rolled and struck a tree. He was ejected from the truck.

A passing motorist came upon the scene at approximately 2:50 a.m. and discovered the crash. Police used a dog to search the area for another victim and are satisfied the driver was alone.

Witnesses or anyone with information relating to the collision are asked to contact investigators at 871-2300 extension 5500.
