Huron County OPP are on the scene of a fatal single vehicle crash that occurred west of Exeter late Monday afternoon.

According to a press release issued by OPP, at approximately 4:41 p.m. police, fire crews and EMS responded to a report of a car crash located on MacDonald Road near Parr Line.

A crossover SUV collided with the side of a bridge over Black Creek.

The driver, who was the lone occupant of the vehicle, was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Police said the name of the deceased is being withheld following next-of-kin notification.
