A driver who had fled the scene after being involved in a collision in Brampton two years ago, which resulted in one fatality, turned himself into police last week.
On Nov. 5 (2021) an officer from the Mississauga OPP attempted to stop an erratic black vehicle near Highway 410 and Sandalwood Parkway.
However, despite police pursuit, the driver failed to stop and sped away.
According to police, the same driver was involved in a two-vehicle crash a short distance away, with a red car at the intersection of Sandalwood Parkway and Dixie Road.
The 21-year-old woman who was driving the red vehicle was reported dead at the scene.
