SIU Investigating Deaths of Three People in Milton Collision; Seeking Witnesses

Mississauga, ON (9 February, 2026) ---
On March 30, 2024, an 18-year-old male, intoxicated and driving an Infiniti with a 16-year-old female as his front seat passenger, rammed into the rear of a 26-year-old male’s Honda that was stopped for a red light. All three vehicle occupants died in the collision. On July 22, 2024, upon learning from the Halton Regional Police Service that the 18-year-old had twice been stopped for investigation of impaired driving by officers in the couple of hours before the collision, the SIU invoked its mandate. The two officers who conducted those investigations were identified as subject officials. The SIU investigation is now concluded. On his assessment of the evidence, SIU Director Joseph Martino determined there were no reasonable grounds to believe that either officer committed a criminal offence in connection with the collision.
