Edinburg police are investigating a fatal vehicle rollover which left an 18-year-old man dead Tuesday night.

In a news release, the city says Edinburg police responded to a major crash in the 1900 block of North Damasco at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Responding officers saw two vehicles, a black Chevy Cobalt and a red Chevy Impala, had collided.
