Peel District School Board has identified a victim of a car collision in Mississauga as 13-year-old Keziah Edwards-Young.

A letter was sent to students and families of Edwards-Young’s school on Monday. He was one of three victims that died following a two-car collision late Sunday night in Mississauga. A 5-year-old boy and 40year-old male also died.

Counsellors will be at EdwardsYoung’s school to support students and staff.

“Keziah’s passing is deeply felt by everyone at the school. Even students who did not personally know Keziah may be affected by the loss,” the letter read.

Peel Regional police Const. Bancroft Wright said the crash happened shortly before 11 p.m. on Winston Churchill Blvd. near the QEW. Const. Harinder Sohi said the two boys died while en route to hospital.

Sohi said a 40-year-old Mississauga man died at the scene. He was the driver and only person in a Mazda that was driving southbound on Winston Churchill Blvd. Sohi said the Mazda crossed the centre line and crashed into a northbound Mercedes carrying five passengers.
