Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is investigating a fatal crash that occurred in Pickering on Saturday morning.
At around 9:30 a.m., a collision occurred on Brock Road near Highway 407 which left one person dead and another seriously injured, the SIU said.
According to the SIU, prior to the collision, an OPP officer was conducting speed enforcement eastbound on Hwy 407 when the officer began to follow a vehicle.
The vehicle exited the highway and the officer later came across a collision between the vehicle and a Purolator delivery truck.
The driver of the vehicle was pronounced dead on scene and the Purolator driver was transported to Sunnybrook Hospital where he remains in serious but stable condition.
The SIU is an independent enforcement agency that investigates incidents involving police that have resulted in death, serious injury or alleged sexual assault.
Around 9:30 a.m., police tweeted that Brock Road would be closed in the area for several hours as officers investigate.
The off-ramps from Hwy. 407 to Brock Road were also closed.
The collision continues a deadly weekend on roads around the Greater Toronto Area.
