A 21-year-old man from Mississauga is dead after crashing into another car during a road rage incident Friday evening, Ontario Provincial Police say.

Provincial police responded to the call around 5:30 p.m. Friday for a six vehicle collision on Highway 400 near Simcoe Road 89 in Innisfil, Ont.

Police say two vehicles were "road raging" while travelling southbound. Then, the 21-year-old driver crossed the centre median of the highway and hit a pickup truck travelling north, according to OPP, causing his car to roll. The driver died of his injuries, police say.

The driver of the pickup truck was taken to hospital with minor injuries. Police say no one else was injured in the crash.

The highway was closed overnight and reopened early Saturday morning, police say.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact investigators.
