An elderly man who was involved in a car crash on the Hamilton mountain last month has died, police say.

Officers were called to the intersection of Upper Wentworth St. and Mohawk Rd. E for a two-vehicle crash around 1 p.m. on Dec. 22.

One of the drivers, a 90-year-old man, was taken to hospital. His injuries were initially believed to be minor but the hospital found internal injuries and the man was admitted.

Police say they were told last week that the man had died.

The collision reconstruction unit took over the investigation following news of his death. Police say criminal charges are not warranted.

The man’s death is the city’s 15th traffic fatality for 2020.
