Peel District School Board has identified a victim of a horrific car collision in Mississauga as 13-year-old Keziah Edwards-Young.

A letter was sent to students and families of Edwards-Young’s school on Monday. “Last night, Keziah passed away in a fatal car accident,” the letter read.

“Keziah was a well liked student-a valuable member of our school community. We will miss him.”

Edwards-Young was one of three victims that died following a two-car collision late Sunday night in Mississauga. A five-year-old boy and 40-year-old male also died.

Counsellors will be at Edwards-Young’s school to support students and staff and a table will be set up in the school’s library for students to leave messages of remembrance.

“Keziah’s passing is deeply felt by everyone at the school. Even students who did not personally know Keziah may be affected by the loss,” the letter read.

Peel Regional police Const. Bancroft Wright said the crash happened shortly before 11 p.m. on Winston Churchill Blvd. near the Queen Elizabeth Way. Const. Harinder Sohi said the two boys died while en route to hospital.

Sohi said a 40-year-old Mississauga man died at the scene. He was the driver and only person in a Mazda that was driving southbound on Winston Churchill Blvd.

Sohi said the Mazda crossed the centre line and crashed into a northbound Mercedes that was carrying five passengers.

A 25-year-old female, who was the front passenger, remains in hospital in critical condition. A seven-year-old girl was taken to hospital in critical condition but she is now stable, said Sohi.

The driver of the Mercedes, a 24-year-old male, suffered minor injuries and has been released from hospital.

It is currently unclear what the relationship is between the passengers of the vehicle.
