Police previously said the man was 42 years old.

It’s not clear if he is still in hospital.

The drivers of the other vehicles were not injured and stayed at the scene, police said.

The crash prompted a closure of the southbound DVP in the area as officers investigated.

Police said they’re still investigating and ask any witnesses or anyone with video footage of the area or incident to come forward.
