A 35-year-old man has tragically lost his life after a single-vehicle crash on Highway 401 in Mississauga, according to provincial police.
Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Sgt. Kerry Schmidt mentioned that the incident took place near Winston Churchill Boulevard just before 6 a. m. on Friday.
Initially, police reported it as a multi-vehicle accident, but Schmidt later clarified that only one vehicle was involved in the crash.
“A pickup truck collided with the crash cushion, the end treatment that separates the express from the collector lanes. That vehicle was then redirected into the express lanes where it came to a rest,” he said.
The driver was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries and unfortunately passed away later. Police first stated that he was 36 years old but later updated his age to 35.
The eastbound express lanes of the highway from approaching Mississauga Road to Mavis Road have reopened after several hours on Friday.
