Region of Peel \u2013 Officers from 11 Division C-Platoon have arrested and charged two Mississauga tow operators following a December crash. \u00a0<\/p>\n

On December 18, 2025, at approximately 10:40 p.m., officers responded to a collision at the intersection of Mavis Road and Queensway. While officers and other first responders were assisting those involved, two tow trucks, believed to be racing to the crash to secure a tow, lost control and crashed through the active police scene.<\/p>\n

One tow truck struck a vehicle involved in the initial crash, while the other narrowly avoided an officer and a pedestrian. Both drivers then fled the scene at a high rate of speed, demonstrating a complete disregard for public safety. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

Officers conducted significant canvassing and located CCTV footage from the vicinity of the crash which shows both trucks being driven recklessly at high rates of speed in residential areas, running stop signs and traffic lights. After a thorough investigation, both operators were identified and subsequently arrested.<\/p>\n

Abdulaziz Omar and Bilal Nofal, both 30-years-old and from Mississauga, are each charged with the following offences:\u00a0<\/p>\n
