Peel Regional Police say a man is dead and a woman is injured after a three-vehicle crash in northeast Brampton on Tuesday.

Const. Himmet Gill said emergency crews were called to scene of the collision near the intersection of Highway 50 and Countryside Drive — on the Brampton-Vaughan border — around 2:15 p.m.

“Emergency services rendered aid to all those involved,” Gill told reporters.

“Two drivers were transported to hospital.”

One of those transported was a 53-year-old man who later died, Gill said. A 30-year-old woman was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Gill said a third person — a 30-year-old driver — was assessed on scene by paramedics and didn’t need to go to hospital.

There is no word on what may have caused the incident.
