One person suffered life-threatening injuries after their vehicle crashed into a tree this morning in Springwater Township. 

Emergency crews responded to the scene on Baseline Road on Sept. 16 at approximately 5:45 a.m.

Huronia West OPP say the passenger vehicle was travelling southbound on Baseline Road when it stuck a tree, east of Elmvale.

The driver, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, was first transported to a local hospital before airlifted to a Toronto trauma centre by air ambulance with life-threatening injuries, according to police.

Police have closed Baseline Road southbound between Flos Road 7 East and Flos Road 8 East for the on-scene investigation, which is ongoing. 

Updates will be provided when available, according to police.

Anyone who was in the area during that timeframe and may have information, such as dash-cam or surveillance footage that may assist investigators, is asked to call Huronia West OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
