Witnesses Sought After Serious Fail to Remain Pedestrian Collision in Brampton
Region of Peel – Investigators with the Major Collision Bureau (MCB) are requesting the public’s assistance following a serious fail-to-remain collision involving a pedestrian in Brampton.
On Monday, April 13, shortly after 5 a.m., police responded to a motor vehicle collision involving a pedestrian at the intersection of Bovaird Drive and McLaughlin Road.
A newer-model blue Toyota RAV4 was travelling northbound on McLaughlin Road when it made a right turn onto Bovaird Drive and struck a male pedestrian who was crossing from the northside to the southside of the intersection. The pedestrian was subsequently struck by two additional vehicles, both of which remained at the scene. The Toyota RAV4 stopped briefly before leaving the scene and speaking to police.
The pedestrian, a 28‑year‑old man, sustained critical injuries and remains in life‑threatening condition.
Investigators are asking any motorists or bystanders who were in the area between 5 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. to review dash‑camera or cellphone footage for possible sightings of the suspect vehicle.
Anyone with information or relevant footage related to this incident is asked to contact MCB investigators at 905-453-2121, ext. 3710. Information may also be provided anonymously by calling Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or by visiting www.peelcrimestoppers.ca.

GAS to drop 10 c/L on Monday
A day after sweeping three byelections in Ontario and Quebec that gave him a majority in the House of Commons, Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced that he is temporarily removing the federal excise tax on gas and diesel.
The move means that the cost of gas will drop by ten cents on a litre of gasoline and four cents per litre of diesel starting Monday and lasting until Labour Day.
The fuel tax holiday, which Carney said would also see the four cent per litre excise tax removed on aviation fuel, is expected to cost an estimated $2.4 billion.
