Around 0200 on April Fool's Day, a 22-year-old motorist lost control of his Mazda 3 and smashed into a pole in Mississausage ON, killing his passenger.
Peel Regional Police say the Mazda was travelling north along Erin Mills Parkway when it collided with a silver Jeep which was making a left turn onto Vista Boulevard, about two kilometres south of Britannia Road. Following that collision, the Peelers say, the Mazda careened down the road and collided with a hydro pole.
The driver and a passenger in the Mazda were transported to the hospital with serious injuries where the passenger, a 20-year-old man, died. The driver of the Jeep was not seriously injured.
This weekend -- more than five months after the tragic events -- the cops finally laid charges (dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death; operation while impaired by drugs causing death, and racing a motor vehicle) against... wait for it... Armaan Singh Gill, of Mississauga.
In spite of the DUI charge, the report of the incident published this weekend in the Toronto Sun, is headlined "Speed allegedly a factor in deadly Mississauga crash, motorist charged". The deadly driver simply as "Armaan Gill". No mention is made of his possible connection with the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving.

Meanwhile,
today's Peel Regional Police blotter announces that the last of three men wanted for extortion after homes were shot at in Brampton earlier this summer has been nabbed in Canada's Lalaland on the West Coast.
On July 10th and 11th, the Peelers say, gunshots were fired at residences in the area of Rolling Acres Drive, in the Mississauga Road and Queen Street West area of Brampton. Police released
video -- reposted right here on WWW -- of the brazen crime showing one man firing a gun while a second appeared to be filming him on a cellphone. The suspects were seen fleeing in a black Chrysler 300, which was recovered in Winnipeg on July 13th.
On July 27th, Husandeep Singh, 20, of Mississauga, was charged with one count each of extortion and discharge firearm with intent. Canada-wide warrants were issued for two other suspects, and on Aug. 26th, Peel cops arrested Gurpreet Singh, 23, of no fixed address, in Winnipeg. He was charged with two counts of discharge firearm with intent and one count of extortion.
And now (September 12th), they felt the collar of the last suspect, Gurdeep Singh Shergill, 26, of Delta BC, in neighbouring Surrey, which has a population of Sikhs even larger than that of Brampton. He was charged with two counts of discharge firearm with intent and one count of extortion.
All three were held pending a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton. at which they are expected to be released to resume their vital work in Canada's cross-border transportation industry.
