The 29-year-old driver involved in a fiery crash on Highway 401 at Port Union on Sunday morning has died in hospital.

Crews responded to the scene for a vehicle on fire around 8 a.m.

OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said a vehicle struck a bus and then went into a guard rail before catching on fire. The crash appeared to be “high speed in nature,” he said.

Schmidt added that an “unrestrained driver” was removed from the vehicle before it burned. He was airlifted to a trauma centre in critical condition.

The bus was unoccupied and the driver was not injured.

On Tuesday, Sgt. Schmidt said the man had succumbed to his injuries and died in hospital.

The victim has been identified as Marcus McLean from Scarborough.
