Driver dead after 2-vehicle crash in Brampton
A woman in her 20s is dead after a two-vehicle crash in Brampton early Monday morning, police say.
Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Highway 50 and Coleraine Drive at 6:35 a.m. for reports of a collision involving a transport truck and one other vehicle.
Peel paramedics initially told CP24 that a female patient was assessed at the scene, but was not transported to hospital.
In an update, Peel police confirmed that the driver was pronounced dead.
“Despite the best efforts of our first responders, the driver of the motor vehicle, a young woman in her 20s, was pronounced deceased on scene,” Const. Richard Chin said in a video posted to X.
The driver of the transport truck was not injured and is cooperating with the investigation, Chin said.
The cause of the crash is unknown at this time.
A number of road closures are in effect as Peel police's major collision bureau investigates the collision.
