A Newmarket man has succumbed to his injuries after a head-on crash Friday in Caledon.

The 21-year-old man was driving an SUV along Highway 9 at around 12:30 p.m., when the OPP say the vehicle crossed the centre line and struck a dump truck.

The driver of the SUV was transported to hospital with critical injuries. He was pronounced dead on Sunday.

The highway was closed between Airport Road and Glen Haffy Road for several hours, while traffic investigators probed the scene.
