Elgin County OPP is investigating a fatal single-vehicle collision that claimed the life of a 29-year-old driver.
Emergency crews responded to a rollover collision around 11:30 p.m. Friday at the intersection of Furnival Road and Johnston Line in West Elgin.

A section of Furnival Road was temporarily closed as result but has since reopened.
