A 49-year-old man is recovering in a Toronto trauma center after a serious crash in Whitby early Saturday morning.
At around 2:20 a.m., Durham Police responded to a single-vehicle accident on Brock Street, south of Taunton Road. The driver, traveling north in a Chrysler 300 sedan, lost control and struck a traffic pole, a wooden fence, and several parked cars in the Bull Pub and Grill parking lot before finally hitting a tree.
The driver sustained life-threatening injuries but is now in stable condition. Police believe alcohol may have been a factor, though the investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Cst. Hoevenaars of the Traffic Services Branch at (905) 579-1520 ext. 5227.
