The driver, an adult male, remained at the scene and was co-operative with investigators.

Peel EMS responded to the scene and transported the male to a local hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries.

The pedestrian later died in hospital.

The investigation is now underway by the Major Collision Bureau. No charges have been laid.

The intersection was closed following the collision, but has since reopened.

Peel Regional Police say a Brampton, Ont., kidnapping investigation has led to multiple charges and the seizure of a firearm after a victim was allegedly held at gunpoint during a $200,000 ransom demand.

According to Peel police’s release, the investigation began on Nov. 6, 2025, at approximately 6 p.m., when a complainant contacted officers to report that a close friend had been kidnapped.

Investigators allege the accused demanded $200,000, warning that the victim would be harmed if the payment was not made.

The victim was safely located and found to be unharmed. One accused was arrested at the scene, where a .45-calibre firearm was recovered.

“Through their coordinated and persistent efforts, they [police] removed an illegal firearm from our streets and intervened in time to protect a victim from harm,” Peel Regional Police Chief Marc Andrews said.

On Feb. 13, 2026, investigators executed two Criminal Code search warrants in Brampton, where additional evidence related to the investigation was located.
