13-year-old Keziah Edwards-Young is one of the two boys killed in the horrific crash. The other was a five year old boy still to be named.
They were in the back seat of a Mercedes driving along Winston Churchill near the QEW around 11 last night when a Mazda slammed into their car.
Edwards-Young was a grade seven student at Erin Mills Middle School. A letter sent home today said he was “a well liked student” and “a valuable member of our school community.”
Three other people in the Mercedes survived the crash, including a seven-year-old girl.. She’s in hospital in stable condition.
A 25-year old woman is fighting for her life and the 24-year old man at the wheel of the Mercedes suffered only minor injuries.
The driver of the Mazda, a 40 year old man, was also killed.
Police say he lost control of his car and crossed the road’s centre line before crashing head-on into the Mercedes.
