A section of Highway 410 in Brampton ground to a halt Sunday morning following a tragic collision. Southbound lanes between Sandalwood Parkway and Bovaird Drive were closed as emergency crews responded to the scene of a fatal pedestrian incident.
Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the death, but have stated that foul play is not suspected. Drivers were urgently advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes, bracing for significant delays.
Meanwhile, in downtown Toronto, a dispute erupted into violence early Sunday. Two men in their twenties were stabbed near Moss Park, in the Sherbourne-Shuter Streets area, prompting a swift police response.
Officers arriving at the scene discovered both men suffering from stab wounds. Fortunately, their injuries were assessed as non-life-threatening, and they were transported to a local hospital for treatment. A third man, also in his twenties, was taken into custody.
Further north, a demonstration in North York took a troubling turn. Police arrested a woman at Bathurst Street and Sheppard Avenue West, near Earl Bales Park, following an incident during the rally.
The woman faces charges of assault with a weapon and threatening behavior, though no injuries were reported to police. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities piece together the events that led to the arrest.
In a separate, somber development, the province’s police watchdog is investigating the death of a 19-year-old woman near Windsor. The incident involved a collision between an OPP cruiser and a pedestrian on County Road 20.
The young woman was immediately transported to a hospital, but tragically succumbed to her injuries. The Special Investigations Unit has deployed a team of investigators, forensics officers, and a crash reconstructionist to determine the details of the incident.
The investigation is focused on the moments leading up to the collision, seeking to understand the sequence of events that resulted in this devastating loss. The SIU’s work will be crucial in providing answers to the woman’s family and the community.
