Police believe alcohol was a factor.

A 69 year old man has died following a collision on the QEW in Grimsby.

Around 1:23 yesterday morning, Burlington OPP were called to the scene of a three-vehicle crash in the Toronto bound lanes near Bartlett Avenue.

The vehicle was seen weaving through lanes when it hit the right-side guard rail.

It then ended up into the left-side concrete guide rail, causing a crash with two other vehicles.

Police say the driver of the initial vehicle was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

No one in the other two cars was hurt.

Officers say there is evidence to suggest alcohol may have been a factor.

The road re-opened about six hours later, and police continue to investigate.
