2 dead, 6 injured in major crash in Mississauga

Two women were killed and six other people were injured in a major two-vehicle crash in Mississauga Thursday morning, Peel police say.

The crash happened on McLaughlin Road South, south of Highway 407 shortly after 7 a.m. when two vehicles collided head on, police said.

Four of the injured people were taken to a trauma centre for treatment, while two others were sent to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Const. Bancroft Wright says CPR was administered to several victims, but the two women died at the scene.

Police said the road reopened to traffic later Thursday.

Anyone with information or dashcam video is asked to contact Peel police.
