A young man is dead and another person is injured following a two-vehicle crash in Caledon.

Ontario Provincial Police officers were called to Mayfield Road near Creditview Road just before 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday for the crash involving a Jeep that rolled over and an Acura SUV ending up in the ditch.

Police said a driver in one of the vehicles, a 21-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver in the other vehicle was taken to hospital with minor injuries. Paramedics initially said their injuries were serious but not life-threatening.

Mayfield was closed between Creditview and Mississauga roads but it has since reopened.
