A man is facing charges in connection with a collision in Brampton last month that killed a 71-year-old victim, Peel Regional Police say.
Police said the crash happened shortly before 8 p.m. on Aug. 31 at the intersection of Mountainash Road and Countryside Drive.
Officers said two vehicles were involved and a pedestrian who was standing on the southeast corner of Countryside Drive was struck by one of the vehicles after the initial crash.
The pedestrian, a 71-year-old man, was taken to a trauma centre with life-threatening injuries.
Peel paramedics previously told Global News two others were also taken to hospital.
In an update Tuesday, police said the pedestrian recently died.
