Mississauga, ON (2 August, 2024) ---
The Special Investigations Unit is investigating the circumstances that led to a two-vehicle fatal collision that occurred in the intersection of Derry Road and Sixth Line, Milton in the early hours of March 30, 2024. On July 22, 2024, the SIU was notified of this case by Halton Regional Police Service and, based on the information received, the SIU has now invoked its mandate. 

An 18-year-old male driver and a 16-year-old female passenger of one vehicle were pronounced deceased at the scene, as was the 26-year-old male driver of the other vehicle.

The SIU has assigned four investigators, a collision reconstructionist and one forensic investigator to the case. 

Two subject officials and six witness officials have been designated at this time.

The SIU is urging anyone who may have information about this investigation, including video or photos, to contact the lead investigator at 1-800-787-8529 or online at: https://siu.on.ca/en/appeals.php

The SIU is an independent government agency that investigates the conduct of officials (police officers as well as special constables with the Niagara Parks Commission and peace officers with the Legislative Protective Service) that may have resulted in death, serious injury, sexual assault and/or the discharge of a firearm at a person. All investigations are conducted by SIU investigators who are civilians. Under the Special Investigations Unit Act, the Director of the SIU must

  • consider whether the official has committed a criminal offence in connection with the incident under investigation
  • depending on the evidence, cause a criminal charge to be laid against the official where grounds exist for doing so, or close the file without any charges being laid
  • publicly report the results of its investigations
