One person is dead after a crash that resulted in the closure of a major Cambridge Road and what police are calling a “large oil/diesel spill.”

Emergency services were called to the crash on Hespeler Road around 4:40 a.m. Tuesday. Police say it involved an SUV and a transport truck.

The driver of the SUV, a 58-year-old man from Cambridge, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Hespeler Road was closed between Guelph Avenue and Kossuth Road for much of the day.

In tweet posted at 1:40 p.m., police said crews were cleaning up a large oil spill as a result of the crash.
