Updating previous reports, OPP now say the two other victims pronounced dead at the scene were not from Brampton, but were visitors from Bangladesh. Their identities have not been released until next of kin in their homeland can be identified.

The crash occurred just before 4:30 p.m. on Thursday when an SUV the three were in was travelling westbound on the highway when it left the road and struck two culverts. The vehicle then burst into flames, according to reports.
