Police said the collision, just north of the Lessard Road exit, happened after a 2015 Dodge Ram pickup travelling southbound at a high rate of speed lost control.

The truck entered the centre median and struck a light standard. A 36-year-old man, the lone occupant, was declared dead on scene, said police spokeswoman Cheryl Voordenhout.

The major collision investigation section has taken over the investigation.
