Members of the OPP Mississauga detachment were called to the northbound side of the highway around 8 p.m. Tuesday after a man reported that he was robbed following a collision.

The man was driving just north of Bovaird Drive when his vehicle was struck from behind by a red car.

When he pulled over to check out the damage and exchange information with the other driver a reported two or three suspects then approached him and robbed him of items from his car.

One of the suspects was brandishing what is believed to be a handgun and another suspect was holding a knife.
