According to OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt, the fatal rollover occurred on the westbound 407, right off the northbound Dixie Road ramp.
According to police, officers were called to the scene at approximately 6:30 p.m. The collision only involved one vehicle and appears to have occurred when the driver lost control while entering the highway.
Sgt. Schmidt said the vehicle hit and drove against the guardrail after the driver lost control. The car, which appears to have rolled over, traveled for some distance in a grassy area near the highway before catching fire and becoming engulfed in flames.
