Two young men died Thursday following separate motorcycle collisions in Mississauga and Brampton, Peel Regional Police say.
Const. Nikhil Chakravarthy said police received calls for the Mississauga crash at 9:45 p.m., which involved a motorcycle and an SUV at Derry Road West and John Watt Boulevard, near Mavis Road.
Pictures gathered from the scene show a black motorcycle lying in an intersection, and a grey SUV with severe damage on its right rear quarter panel, bumper and door.
Chakravarthy said the motorcycle rider was rushed to a trauma centre with critical injuries. The man, who was in his 20s, later died in hospital.
The female driver of the SUV was taken to hospital with minor injuries, he added.
In Brampton, Chakravarthy said police received a call at 5:57 p.m. for reports of a crash involving a motorcycle and a transit bus at Hurontario Street and Petworth Road, just south of Mayfield Road.
A man in his 20s died from his injuries at the scene, he said. No one on the transit bus was injured, he added.
The causes of both crashes are unclear as the investigations are ongoing.
Anyone with information or footage is asked to contact Peel Regional Police.
