One man is dead and two others are in hospital following a multi-vehicle crash involving a tractor trailer, which rolled over and struck a large sign outside of a gas station in Mississauga just after midnight Monday.

Around 12:15 a.m., Peel Region police were notified of a crash at the intersection of Mavis Road and Eglinton Avenue West. The tractor trailer, which police said was stolen and filled with meat, collided with a vehicle, forcing it to collide with another vehicle, before the tractor trailer rolled over at the gas station.

The driver of the tractor trailer was pronounced dead while the other two drivers were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Anyone with information on the incident can contact Peel’s major collision bureau at 905-453-2121, ext. 3710.
