Barrie police are investigating a fatal crash that claimed the life of a 17-year-old girl.
It happened on Georgian Drive near the main driveway to Georgian College around 930 last night.
Upon arrival at the scene, police say it was determined that a westbound motor vehicle lost control, and left the roadway after mounting a snow bank, striking a large directional road sign, rolling numerous times and coming to rest in an open, snow covered area between Georgian Drive and Highway 400.
A 17-year old passenger from Barrie was taken to a local hospital, where a short time later she was pronounced deceased. The 17-year old male driver, who is also from Barrie, was also taken to hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
The fatal collision investigation remains ongoing.
