Ontario Provincial Police say a man has been charged with impaired driving after a fatal crash on Hwy. 401 in Toronto Saturday afternoon.
Authorities said they received reports of a crash in the westbound collector lanes near Keele Street shortly after 4:30 p.m.
Paolo Brizzi, 39, of Woodbridge was pronounced dead at the scene, OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said.
Schmidt said it appears a vehicle sideswiped the victim’s vehicle, causing it to crash into the concrete barrier.
