While it’s still too early to determine whether or not the driver was impaired, Peel police Const. Danny Marttini said that speed could have been a factor.
“Unfortunately the individual passed away, so we can’t say yet if alcohol was a factor,” she said.
Marttini said that the victim was the only person in the vehicle.
Police also said that no one else was injured when the vehicle went up onto the concrete near the restaurant and CIBC bank.
“No one else was injured, which was very fortunate,” says Marttini, adding that pieces of the vehicle could have struck anyone who happened to be in the area.
“The muffler was separated, springs were everywhere. Every piece of the car was all over the place.”
No structures in the area sustained any significant damage as a result of the crash.
The victim’s name has not been released.
