Female rushed to trauma centre after incident on QEW in Mississauga: paramedics

One person has been taken to a trauma centre following an incident on the QEW in Mississauga early Tuesday morning, Peel paramedics say.

Details of what transpired are unclear but paramedics say they were called to the area of the QEW and Mississauga Road shortly before 4 a.m.

One female was taken from the scene to a trauma centre for treatment.

Peel Regional Police described the incident as a shooting investigation but would not confirm if the patient transported from the scene had been shot.

Ontario Provincial Police say they have closed the QEW Fort Erie off-ramp in Mississauga for an “extended period” due to the police investigation in the area.

A construction worker at the scene said a woman exited the passenger’s side of a vehicle and came running up to him to ask for help. He told reporters that the victim appeared to have a head injury and had called 911 for assistance. The woman, he said, told an off-duty officer on scene that another person inside the vehicle had sustained a gunshot wound to the head.

“It caught me off guard and obviously my work wasn’t a priority anymore,” he said. “My concern for that person was that hopefully she would be okay and recover from that head wound.”
