Police said the incident happened in the westbound lanes of Highway 401 at Mavis Road on April 22, 2023.
A 29-year-old man from Mississauga was pronounced deceased as a result.
At the time of the incident, police said the victim was from Cambridge, Ont., and was travelling westbound, in the right lane, in a Mazda on Highway 401 approaching Mavis Road.
