Peel Regional Police say a driver is in custody on suspicion of “impaired-related offences” after a crash in Brampton early Saturday that left one person dead and two others injured.
Police said emergency crews were called just after 5 a.m. to the area of Hurontario Street and Sandalwood Parkway.
Police said there were three vehicles involved in the crash.
Const. Akhil Mooken told Global News that a 59-year-old Brampton man died at the scene.
“Shortly afterwards, officers were able to locate the driver of one of the vehicles — the vehicle that is believed to have caused the collision — a short distance away,” Mooken said.
“At this time, a 25-year-old man from the city of Brampton is currently in custody with police on suspicion of impaired-related offences.”

Images from the scene showed debris scattered throughout the roadway, including what appeared to be an engine.
