BRAMPTON, Ont. — A 19-year-old Brampton man has been arrested on dangerous driving charges in connection to a vehicle collision last month that killed a 71-year-old pedestrian.
Peel Regional Police say shortly before 8 p.m. on Aug. 31, two vehicles collided at the intersection of Countryside Drive and Mountainash Road in Brampton. The impact pushed one of the vehicles onto the curb of the southeast corner of the intersection, striking the man.
