One person is dead following an early Friday morning single-vehicle collision in Delta.
Shortly after 2:30 a.m., Delta Police received a report of a serious collision at the 72nd Avenue off-ramp from Highway 91 southbound.
“Officers located a single vehicle that appears to have struck a concrete barrier, causing the vehicle to leave the elevated roadway, and come to rest in the forested area adjacent to the ramp,” said Acting Insp. James Sandberg. “The lone occupant of the vehicle died at the scene.
Sandberg said collision reconstruction investigators will remain on the scene conducting their investigation.
The southbound Highway 91 exit and entrance ramps were initially closed due to this investigation; however, the southbound Highway 91 exit ramp to access 72nd Ave. eastbound has now been re-opened, said Sandberg.

The name of the deceased is not being released by police.
