Two occupants were ejected from the car, and a 24-year-old man from Brampton was pronounced dead at the scene.
One passenger, a 27-year-old, was rushed to a local hospital in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries. Two other passengers were not injured.
It’s unclear if alcohol was a factor.
