A 24-year-old man is dead in Bramalea and Peel Regional Police are searching for witnesses to the single-car crash that killed him.

Police say the victim was driving a yellow Toyota Celica east along Clark Boulevard when, for unknown reasons, he lost control of the car and slammed into a light pole just east of Dixie Road, at Peel Centre Drive. He was rushed to hospital, but he was pronounced dead soon after.

Police say there were vehicles in the area at the time, and they want to speak to the driver of a vehicle that was reportedly travelling behind the yellow car just before the crash, "so we can determine what exactly happened in this incident."

The crash happened at 11:30 p.m. Jan. 14, and Clark was shut down the rest of the night and into Sunday morning. Peel's Major Collision Bureau is investigating and police said the road reopened around 11 a.m. after the car was removed and the traffic light pole inspected to ensure its stability had not been compromised by the impact.
