York Regional Police are appealing for witnesses following a fatal two-vehicle collision in Vaughan that left one person dead and ten others injured.
The crash occurred just before 11 p.m. on Saturday at the intersection of Highway 27 and Rutherford Road in the Elder Mills area. Two SUVs were involved in the collision, with one catching fire immediately after impact. All occupants of the burning vehicle managed to escape safely.
Tragically, a 69-year-old woman from Vaughan, who was seated in the back of the second SUV, died at the scene. The other ten individuals involved sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to hospital.
Police are continuing to investigate the cause of the crash and are urging anyone with information or dashcam footage from the area at the time to contact investigators.
