Three Siblings Killed in Highway 401 Impaired Crash

Three siblings aged six, 13, and 15 died after their minivan, stopped at a red light on the Highway 401 eastbound off-ramp at Renforth Drive in Toronto, was struck by a speeding vehicle early Sunday morning. The children’s mother, a 10-year-old sibling, and a family acquaintance were also injured but are now in stable condition. The arrested driver, identified as 19-year-old Ethan Lehouillier of Georgetown, Ontario, faces 12 charges, including three counts each of impaired driving causing death and causing bodily harm. The Toronto Catholic District School Board confirmed the children were students and is providing support to affected school communities. The incident has led to renewed public calls for stricter impaired driving laws, with Ontario Premier Doug Ford expressing condolences and advocating for harsher penalties. Police are continuing their investigation and have requested any witnesses or dash-cam footage.
