A 58-year-old man was killed Wednesday night when he was ejected from his vehicle as it rolled over.

Emergency crews were called to the crash site – on Highway 24 near the community of Vittoria, south of Simcoe – around 9:30 p.m.

They found that the man’s vehicle had left the highway, entered a ditch, became airborne and rolled over before hitting a tree and coming to rest.

The victim was identified Thursday as Donald Norris Edward Carpenter, a Norfolk County resident.

The highway was closed for approximately three hours.
