BRAMPTON, Ont. — Police west of Toronto say three people are dead after a car they were travelling in collided with a tree in Brampton, Ont.
Peel Regional Police spokesperson Sgt. Jennifer Trimble says officers discovered the bodies in a vehicle engulfed in flames after responding to a 911 call placed around 2 a.m. today.
They believe the vehicle was travelling south on Conestoga Drive near Elmvale Avenue when it left the roadway for unknown reasons and crashed into the tree.
