One Pedestrian Killed & Another With Life-Threatening Injuries In 3 Car Crash In Brampton

Police said one of the vehicles took off after the crash.

A crash in Brampton Friday morning has left one female pedestrian dead and another in hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Peel Regional Police said they were called to the scene at Heritage Road and Steeles Avenue at 5:45 a.m., where they determined several vehicles had been involved in the crash.

"So far we know that at least three cars were involved," Peel Police Constable Mandeep Khatra told Narcity.

Police said one female was pronounced dead on the scene and another female was rushed to a trauma centre with life-threatening injuries. Their ages were not provided.

In what's been described as a "very dynamic scene," police said one of the three vehicles involved in this crash took off after it happened.

So far, the only description police have for that suspect vehicle is a mid-sized SUV.

Investigators are still trying to piece together exactly what happened and determine how exactly two pedestrians and three vehicles became involved in this collision.

Updates are expected later on Friday.

Police said the intersection of Heritage Road and Steeles Avenue in Brampton remained fully closed for the investigation and that closure is expected to last for an extended period of time.
