Ontario Provincial Police say a man is dead after two cars were reportedly racing on the QEW west of Toronto early Saturday morning.
Sgt. Kerry Schmidt says the single-vehicle crash happened in Burlington at about 12:30 a.m. following an alleged street race.
He says at least one other vehicle was reportedly involved in the race, which allegedly began in neighbouring Oakville.
He says a 26-year-old Burlington man who was a passenger in one of the cars died in hospital.
There was no word on the condition of the 23-year-old Hamilton man who was driving the car.
Schmidt says the other vehicle believed to be involved in the alleged race fled the scene.
