The occupants of the other vehicle were a family of three, including a nine-month-old baby. They were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Police said the baby and their father are in good condition, while the baby's mother is in critical but stable condition.
Witnesses told CP24 that a Jeep may have run a red light, travelling at a high speed, before colliding with another vehicle.
Police said the 29-year-old man killed in the crash was the passenger of one of the vehicles. The driver of that vehicle, a 29-year-old man, was taken into custody before being transported to a trauma centre due to his non-life-threatening injuries.
Later in the afternoon, police identified the driver as Supinder Singh. He has been charged with three counts of operating while impaired causing bodily harm and operation while impaired causing death.
The intersection was closed in all directions for a significant period of time.
