Police are trying to determine how a car ended up in a central Mississauga pond earlier today (July 17) in an incident that sent one man to hospital with undisclosed injuries.
According to Peel Regional Police, the man was the lone occupant of the vehicle when it entered the small pond in the area of Hillcrest Ave. and Clayhill Rd., near Dundas St. W. and Mavis Rd., at about 11:30 a.m.
A police spokesperson couldn’t say exactly where the pond is located, but the only such water body in the area is located directly to the east of Brickyard Park.
Police didn’t reveal the age of the man, nor did they provide any details on his condition.
Members of the Peel police Major Collision Bureau, which investigates traffic incidents involving serious injury or death, were at the scene Monday afternoon.
The spokesperson told insauga.com that investigators are focusing on the events immediately before the car entered the water.
