A teenager has died following a single-vehicle rollover near Georgian College.

Barrie police responded to the incident around 9 p.m. Jan. 29. The vehicle was travelling west on Georgian Drive, near the college campus, when the driver lost control and the vehicle left the roadway. It rolled “a number” of times, police spokesperson Peter Leon said.

The passenger, a 17-year-old secondary school student from Barrie, was taken to hospital, where she was pronounced dead a short time later.

“It’s a very tragic, unfortunate set of circumstances that took place,” Leon said. “It shows how precious life truly is. Right now, the high schools are between semesters. They finished their last exams. Our (officers) are in touch with the school involved.”
