October 2025 Mississauga Collision Round-Up

October 2025 was a difficult month for road users in Mississauga. A number of serious and tragic collisions occurred across different neighbourhoods — involving vehicles, pedestrians, and highway rollovers. These incidents serve as a strong reminder that even in well-known surroundings, the margin for error is small. Our deepest sympathies go out to all those affected.

At Auger Hollingsworth Injury & Accident Lawyers, we work with people whose lives were changed in a moment. We share this roundup not to cause alarm, but to raise awareness—and to let anyone involved know that if your family member was in one of these crashes, you are not alone and you may have rights.

Pedestrian Killed in Meadowvale Area

On October 11, a pedestrian in his 60s was struck and killed by an SUV on Mississauga Road in the Meadowvale area, after leaving the 407-Mississauga Road interchange. The collision occurred at a mid-block pedestrian crossing; the driver remained at the scene and rendered aid.

This tragic event highlights the vulnerability of pedestrians in urban-suburban transition zones. For families grappling with loss, the legal path can feel overwhelming: dealing with funeral arrangements, insurance communications, and potential civil claims for loss of care, guidance, and companionship under the Family Law Act. Early legal consultation ensures key evidence — such as dash-cam footage or witness statements — is preserved before it’s lost.

Two People Suffer Life-Altering Injuries After Rollover on Highway 410

Early on October 13, just before 6:30 a.m., a single-vehicle rollover took place near the Highway 410 and Matheson Boulevard junction in Mississauga. Two people were transported to hospital with life-altering injuries, and several ramps in the area were closed for hours.

Highway crashes like this — involving rollovers or single-vehicle loss of control — often raise questions about speed, vehicle condition, fatigue, or changing road conditions. Victims of these collisions face long hospital stays, rehabilitation, and loss of income. Legal support early on helps ensure proper documentation, access to accident benefits, and protection of rights if negligence is suspected.

Tractor-Trailer Collision on Highway 401 Near Winston Churchill

On October 31, a serious collision involving a tractor-trailer and an SUV occurred on the eastbound lanes of Highway 401 near Winston Churchill Boulevard in Mississauga. The incident happened early in the morning and resulted in one person being taken to hospital with injuries.

Collisions involving large commercial vehicles introduce additional layers of complexity — carrier liability, maintenance records, hours-of-service compliance, and multiple insurance providers. For victims and their families, early legal guidance can ensure evidence is preserved and the responsible parties are held accountable.

A Month That Urges Us to Slow Down and Stay Focused

When you look across these incidents — a pedestrian fatality in Meadowvale, a highway rollover with life-changing injuries, and a tractor-trailer collision near Highway 401 — a common message emerges: speed, distraction, and complacency remain deadly.

At Auger Hollingsworth Injury & Accident Lawyers, our Mississauga car accident lawyers help individuals and families understand their rights, access benefits, and pursue compensation for pain and suffering, lost income, attendant care, and more. Whether you were a driver, passenger, pedestrian, or family member of someone lost, you don’t have to face the aftermath alone.

Practical Driving and Road Safety Reminders

As fall turns toward winter, Mississauga roads bring new hazards. Here are some practical reminders:

• Reduce speed, especially during twilight or early-morning hours when visibility is limited.
• Use headlights earlier — urban-suburban roads often shift quickly from light to dark.
• Watch for pedestrians — particularly in areas with mid-block crossings or near highway interchanges.
• Avoid distractions — even brief glances away from traffic can have lasting consequences.
• Check your vehicle’s condition — tires, brakes, and headlights matter more as weather changes.
• If you witness or are involved in a crash, move to safety, call 911, and document what you can. Early evidence can be vital for insurance or legal claims.
