It has been a busy couple of days for police on Ontario’s roads as they have been dealing with several single-vehicle crashes in and around the Greater Toronto Area.
Between Sunday and Monday morning, two people were left dead and several others injured in three separate collisions.
The first occurred early Sunday morning to the north of Toronto.
Police from the Caledon OPP detachment said they were called in after a single-vehicle collision was reported on Bramalea Road, near Boston Mills Road, on Sunday at around 1:30 a.m.
A 21-year-old from Brampton who was in the passenger’s seat was pronounced dead at the scene, according to OPP. Another passenger, who was also from Brampton, was taken to a trauma centre for treatment of serious, life-threatening injuries.
