One person is dead and three others were taken to hospital after a vehicle crashed in Bolton overnight.

Peel Regional Police say a black Honda Accord was travelling north on Highway 50 when it went off the road and ended up in a ditch near Countryside Dr. at around 1 a.m. Thursday.

There were four occupants in the vehicle when it crashed. A 38-year-old Brampton man was killed, and three other men were taken to hospital. One is in life-threatening condition and two others have serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

Both York and Peel region officials responded to the area, but York Region police are leading the collision reconstruction for the purpose of investigation.

There are reports that the vehicle that crashed may have been a stolen vehicle, but York Region police say the overlap of jurisdiction means they have very limited information confirmed at this point, and that circumstances around the crash are still under investigation.

The roads in the area were initially closed, but have since been reopened.
