Goderich man injured in roll-over crash

(GODERICH, ON) -  A roll-over crash that injured a Goderich man Sunday evening, remains under police investigation. 

Shortly after 5 p.m. Nov. 27, the Huron County OPP, Goderich Fire Department and Huron County Paramedic Services were dispatched to a single-vehicle collision that took place on Victoria Street North just north of Nelson Street. in Goderich.
 
The preliminary investigation has determined the driver of a Dodge Caravan was travelling southbound on Victoria Street North at a high rate of speed when, for unknown reasons, his van crossed over into the northbound lane and left the roadway.

The van subsequently collided with a large tree to the east of the roadway, and at that point, the out-of-control van rolled and ultimately came to rest on its passenger side. The engine caught fire but it was quickly put out by a witness who came to the aid of the injured driver. 
 
The driver and lone occupant of the vehicle, 78-year-old Robert WHITEHEAD of Goderich, is recovering in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
