A 53-year-old man is dead and his 23-year-old son is in critical condition after a single-vehicle crash on Sunday night Scugog.
Durham police say the incident happened on Regional Road 8 in Scugog around 11:45 p.m.
A westbound Dodge vehicle rounded a curve at a high rate of speed and lost control, entered a ditch and rolled several times, investigators say.
The men, from Uxbridge, were both ejected from the vehicle.
The 53-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. The 23-year-old man was transported to a local hospital before being airlifted to a Toronto-area trauma centre where he remains in critical condition.
Investigators say alcohol and speed are believed to be factors in the crash.
Police are asking that anyone who may have witnessed the incident or had contact with the men at the Port Perry Fair to contact investigators or Crime Stoppers.
