The driver, who police identified only as a 19-year-old from Vaughan, has been charged with dangerous operation causing death and dangerous operation causing bodily harm. Susca said the accused is currently being held on bail. <\/p>\n
Investigators believe other vehicles may have been racing in the area before the crash. <\/p>\n
\u201cSeat belts are such an important factor in preventing these kind of fatalities and these kind of accidents,\u201d Susca said. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to prevent these kind of incidents from happening.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said the driver is cooperating with investigators but police are still seeking information, including witnesses or anyone with dashcam video.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe investigation is still ongoing,\u201d Susca said.<\/p>\n
By late Saturday morning, at around 11:47 a.m., police confirmed Highway 401 eastbound near Dixon Road had reopened. <\/p>\n
Anyone with additional information is still asked to come forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All lanes are closed eastbound from Eglington to Dixon after a multi-vehicle crash, as four people were taken…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108253,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[712,43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-108252","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-apple-news","9":"tag-headlines","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-top-news","12":"tag-top-stories","13":"tag-topnews","14":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108252\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
