A 19-year-old Toronto man is dead and his 17-year-old friend is fighting for his life after a major crash on Highway 400 in Barrie that snarled traffic Sunday afternoon.
Police say a Toyota 4Runner travelling southbound on the 400 lost control, flipped and rolled over to the northbound lanes. Witnesses tell police that the SUV may have been cut-off by another vehicle.
There were five males in the vehicle, police say.
None of the occupants were wearing seatbelts and all were thrown from the vehicle, investigators say.
Two seriously hurt victims were airlifted to a Barrie hospital and then transferred to Sunnybrook Hospital and St. Michael's Hospital.
The 19-year-old died early this morning at Sunnybrook and his friend is in critical condition with severe head injuries.
The three other men have been released from hospital. Police say speed and alcohol are not considered factors in the crash.
Lane closures affected both northbound and southbound traffic.
