Driver killed in West Lincoln roll-over

Sunday, Sept. 20 at about 7 p.m., members of the Niagara Regional Police Service, the Niagara Emergency Medical Service and the West Lincoln Fire Service responded to reports of a vehicle roll-over that had occurred on Reg. Rd. 27 at Baldwin Road in the Township of West Lincoln.

Investigators determined that a 2009 Kia Rondo, driven by a 72-year-old male from Paris, Ontario, was travelling south on Reg. Rd. 27 at Baldwin Road. As the Kia entered a curve at that location, the lone driver lost control of his vehicle and left the roadway.

Emergency crews quickly attended and freed the male from the vehicle. The 72 year-old male driver received fatal injuries as a result of the collision and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police are not releasing the name of the deceased, pending notification of next-of-kin
