A car rollover early Friday on the Mountain was caused by distracted driving and a cell phone, police say.

A man lost control of his car at Miles Road and English Church Road around 12:45 a.m., police say. The car was found on its roof and the man was found on the side of the road. Police believe the collision was because of a cell phone.

A 22-year-old Hamilton man was taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries.

He has been charged with careless driving.
