3 dead following early morning collision in Milton

An early morning collision in Milton left three people dead, with Halton police now saying the victims include two teenagers and one man in his 20s.

According to police, the two-vehicle collision was reported at the intersection of Sixth Line and Derry Rd around 3:20 a.m. on Saturday.

The three victims, a 16-year-old girl, an 18-year-old man and a 26-year-old man, were all pronounced deceased at the scene.

Police say that the 16 and 18-year-old were travelling together in a black Infiniti G35, and the other involved vehicle was a Honda CRV.

The driver in the Honda CRV was identified as Mousawar Ahmed on Saturday by a GoFundMe campaign.

It says that he was the sole provider of his household, and that his income supported his two younger siblings and their mother.

In just two days, the campaign managed to raise over $100,000.

Many of the comments praise Ahmed as a dear friend who worked hard to support his family.

“Mousawar was truly a people person. I remember him as being an upbeat, burst of positivity early mornings before beginning our 3 a.m. shift,” writes Shardul Bichkar.

“Very honest and hardworking person. Rest in peace brother, you will be sorely missed. – Your work family.”
