Four young people from Mississauga, Brampton and Milton were killed in a single-vehicle crash in Puslinch Township early Saturday morning, police say.

In an update Sunday (Nov. 1), Wellington County OPP said those who died were a 19-year-old man from Mississauga, a 19-year-old man from Brampton, a 17-year-old girl from Mississauga and a 15-year-old girl from Milton.

Two others survived. A 17-year-old girl from Mississauga remains in hospital with life-altering injuries, and a 16-year-old girl from Mississauga suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Wellington County OPP, Puslinch Fire and Rescue Service and Guelph-Wellington Paramedic Service were called to Watson Road South, between Maltby Road East and Wellington Road 34, at about 1:35 a.m. on Saturday (Oct. 31).

According to police, the investigation has found that six people were in the vehicle when it left the road, struck a guardrail and went into a ravine. Four were pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators are looking at all available evidence, including information related to speed and seatbelt use, as they work to determine what happened.

In a video posted on social media Saturday, police offered their “deepest and sincerest condolences” to the families and friends of those affected.

The OPP Traffic Incident Management and Enforcement Team, Cambridge OPP, the Emergency Response Team, the OPP Canine Unit and Victim Services Wellington-Guelph assisted with the investigation and response.

Police are again asking nearby residents with surveillance footage from the time of the crash, and anyone with dashcam footage, video or other information, to contact Wellington County OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

The investigation is ongoing, and police say further updates will be provided as information becomes available.
