Police should have abandoned the high speed pursuit when the suspect entered the highway into on coming traffic .but instead they put civilian lives at risk trying to be hero’s and what did it accomplish ? Fuck all.
100% agree
The guy stole a bottle of liquor from the lcbo. It was an off duty cop that started the chase. They’re fucking brain dead
Uhm, he'll no!!! There's booze there yo!!
It's like a teacher chasing a kid around in the classroom. Its a dumb idea.
If the criminal Gagandeep Singh was in jail or deported from the country it would not have happened in the first place.
The fact that 25 police vehicles were in wrong-way pursuit of the suspect in a busy highway was a disaster waiting to happen.
25?!! All in pursuit of a common robber? Like an idiotic Keystone cops scenario, though anything but funny.
So every one of those cars was driven by somebody with absolutely no thinking skills.
Uhm....this is booze we talking about here
Wow that person shouldn't have been out of jail in the first place
Most of the time . Thats the case 😢. This is so sad.
How do you know he was in jail before.
Hey criminals are people with feelings! That's what we are supposed to understand. Because woke liberals keep screaming in our ears right?
It's Canada. Catch and release. Just like Pokemon.
Prove it
Condolences to the loved ones of those lost. Heartbreaking.
Infuriating. Wtf man.
Radios travel faster than speeders. They could have waited for her instead of trying to pursue her at high speed.
Why would the police even chase the wrong way on a busy highway
Even if they didn't. Do you think the accident wouldn't have happened regardlesss. They were driving on the wrong side of the road dude, like smh.
Oh I dunno... probably because they are going the wrong way on a busy highway.
RIGHT!! all because he stole from an LCBO unbelievable
@@dee1353 The cops wouldn't know that. All they are told is "Armed robbery and stolen vehicle heading East-bound."
Like seriously, you people are sick in the head to defend the criminal.
@@Edward_Bernays it's their job to know that
The police's irresponsible act Robbers could cough any day or any time, but 20 minutes chasing a vehicle while driving in a wrong direction is a nonsensical act.
Wrong. A simple google search with available info would prove that the wrong way chase was brief. The entire chase of a POS using a knife to commit a crime may have been long, but not in the wrong direction
This is horrific, condolences to everyone involved and their families =(
Everyone except the perp
Amen.
Very sad🙏
Honestly on the side note I want to add. There are horrible drivers out there lately. Drivers are given licenses too easiliy these days. Almost everyday I face drivers who doesn't know what theya re doing or very confused.
Same I drive the 401 almost 100km a day there and back and I see too many close calls and idiots who shouldn’t be allowed on the road. It’s a dam shame what our world has come too.
You know what is funny. It's harder to get a license nowadays, back even 20-30 years ago you could go gef your L then a month late get your N
@MohammedIbrahim-dm1qd Yeah at the Punjabi license factory servicing the GTA
that is so bad, this is not Canada
What an absolute tragidy for both families. I hope they can heal from this. So senseless.
Horrendous.

Yes. The suspect lost his life in the pursuit.
Good. @@RaheemRollair
@@RaheemRollair God bless
I saw this all happen i got on the highway going to whitby from courtice just as the chase happened
l live in Whitby in the area of this matter and heard the shit storm..it was crazy
So is it worth chasing fleeing suspects on a highway? 🤷🏻♀️😞
Exactly
No it’s not cause innocent ppl always get killed smdh
Of course not.
Now is not the time .
The good news is a bunch of white women are on the internet to bash cops and praise criminals. They will also be the first to call police if an ugly man talks to them in the park after 7pm.. So which is it?
Lose lose for the officers here. If they let them go, those guys are still going to be driving full speed into oncoming traffic. Someone, eventually, will die. Blame the guys who were committing about a dozen crimes and not the people trying to keep everyone else safe.
FWIW its much easier to see police lights coming you way and slow down, than seeing a white van coming your way.
They are not supposed to chase if it's a danger to the public...and this clearly was.
Chasing an alcohol robbery done on LCBO, endangering everyone, police must be accountable to decide pursuit the vehicle on the opposite busy lane. What stupid and irresponsible they were. They should’ve done better, helicopter to keep an eye on the van to see where would exit maybe.
I hope the truck driver is OK. It is too bad about any innocent people lost. The U-Haul driver received justice recompense.
🤦 More criminal carnage…
Wow, you used to hear about this crap happening (unfortunately) in some state about 3 or 4 times a year. Now its Whitby.
We need more info but this is eerily similar to a crashed that happened just a few days ago in Pennsylvania. Police were chasing robbery suspects when the suspects crashed and 4 people were killed, including an unborn baby. Strange. Hopefully this case is the same as that one and it was the suspects killed instead of innocent people aside from the infant.
The fact that u think stealing means u should be killed is actually depraved.
@@BajJamBeauty what?? Did you only read half of the comment and watch half of the story? Stealing ....no putting other people's lives at risk and killing other people.... Yes!

Years ago I was passed by people going the wrong direction on the off ramp from the 401 to the 400. I often wondered what they were thinking, and what happened to them.
Only the beginning. OH CANADA
beginning of the end!

heart crushing news. 💔💔
Way too many of these idiots trying stuff that only works in video games such as GTA V. These are real lives. Nobody can respawn IRL bro.
toronto is just not a safe place to live anymore. it’s so disappointing.
It in Whitby
What are you even talking about? It’s one of the safest cities and is much better than past decades with crime, you’re just scared by the scare news you’re consuming
As if Whitby is in Pennsylvania. Just half an hour away from city centre@@truthmatterbyoladada1462
this is in conservaive freedumber land Whitby lol Cons cant drive for shite and are a danger to society
I live in a small town (less than 4000) in south-west ontario and my friend was just murdered in Jan. of this year. It's not safe in Canada anymore. Canadians are not even allowed to defend themselves to the point that they will be safe.
Cops tell you to leave your keys by the front door for thieves.
When someone breaks into your house, it's better for you to go out the back door.
When someone breaks into your house, why can't we defend our house to win the fight instead of having to fight to a draw, with a criminal.
If someone breaks into your house, a person should be allowed to defend your house to the point that the criminal could or should lose his life instead of the home owner.
How? How can they be going the wrong way?
Sad incident
Catch and bail policy!
RIP
Going the wrong way on any roadway, especially a major one, will get you to a cemetery in record time.
Because there is lack of concentration and focus while driving. Mostly, cell phones and social media apps are to be blamed for this.
why cant barriers be built on the exit ramps of high ways that would close when detecting an vehicle approaching from the wrong direction.
Not sure something like that even exists but if it does it would cost a fortune plus all the maintenance and repairs , are you willing to pay more taxes or have the money taken from somewhere else and lose other things ? Usually when this happens it isnt a robber/criminal , it is just someone who got confused and made a wrong turn and having a barrier come down would cause the person going the wrong way and anyone going the right way to slam into it .
Because they would stop the people going in the right direction, and cause mayhem.
@@johnb5519 really? I have no idea how why wouldnt they stop the peope going in the right direction if it meant to avoid a head on collision someone going in the wrong direction? thats just logical. of course they would stop traffic that is the whole point, how different would it be from normal rush hour.??? Thats a great comment man... lets just get everyone going regardless of who gets hurt... nice.. Does it look NORMAL to you? with a SIX car pile-up because IT ALREADY LOOKS LIKE MAYHEM TO ME.
Not true. Cement spikes in the ground poining on and angle toward the wrong way entrance. The spikes will pirce the tires making them flat and hard to drive on but cars coming off the hwy would simply drive over them the other way without pincters@shari9721
@@pinkman7546 thats a good one, like Europe. Or the posts in the center of the road that pop up pneumatically. even a "soft" barrier with a large warning sign would be better than the signeage currently installed.
Watch your lanes ppl!
In a 3 lane rd where my side had the two lanes, i had someone barreling down on me and didnt clue in until they passed that they were in the wrong lane, over a faded solid yellow line
Sad 💔
This fucking city is anarchy on the roads. Horrible and heartbreaking
Yeah, come to the play ground the dark hole in the wall with the spray paint of an arrow and says FREE HUGS
That's what happens when you pump out drivers licences like their candy.
They are saying the police officers caused the accident on other websites.
Wonder if they recovered the alcohol!? That's incredibly important 🧐
Very unprofessional. With right sense, a sensible approach, there couldn't be a pursuit of police to wrong direction if really they understand what safety is all about. Police need to take full responsibility for unfortunate incidents.
Rest in peace 🕊️
Few points of thought: Why aren't on-ramps closed so there is no traffic on the highway at the moment? There seems to be a lot that happens at that intersection of the highway, 401 & 412.
Poor families that have to deal with this. :(
1- you would have to close the ramps for miles and miles which is not possible. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of cars on the 401 at any given time. Happens way to fast to clear them out of the way and close ramps. The 401 is way too busy
2- what do you mean a lot happens at 401 and 412? There haven't been any reports at this spot in years so what do you mean?
Seems that they went the wrong way on the exit ramp.
Hi it’s just not done unfortunately, 6 years ago me and two of my five children were hit head on by a wrong way driver near Orillia Ontario. 17 police cursers deployed apparently and a spike belt behind me was put out but I had no idea what was up ahead we had just been on the highway about 30 seconds. We never should have been able to get onto the highway.
@@pacman3556 Recently at that intersection of highway there are always crashes, this one just happened to be there, didn't know that it was wrong way. I didn't know at the time. In general, that intersection of highway is always a nightmare. Next, you can close the on-ramps up to a point where you would have police setting up on the highway detour to force people off the road and more highway interactive billboards telling people about the traffic ahead would have worked greatly, if we had them. That is one investment that would be great to have. People then can get off the highway and not sit for hours and get stuck.
@@FunnyCrazyProduction
1- first time this has ever happened. And it was under unusual circumstances. Things like this don't happen daily. And with the volume of traffic on the 401 this area is no more dangerous then any other part of the highway
2- car chase started and happened way too fast to close all ramps to the highway. And police had no idea what direction the thief would even be going in.
3- car chase happened way to quickly to start changing all the signs along the highway.
4- there are way too many cars on the highway at any given time to get everyone off the highway. It is clear you have never driven on the 401 because if you have you would know what it is like if they close even one lane of traffic and what it is like to try to clear even one lane let alone the entire highway (especially at that time of day during rush hour traffic).
But nice try at playing Monday morning quarterback. Maybe one day you will score a touchdown.
Police should have never chase, they contributed in the outcome, all over liquor, this man obviously not sane driving into incoming traffic, not sure what outcome the police was looking for putting everyone else in danger
So, what you're saying is police shouldn't pursue robberies anymore by car? So, what you're saying is. I should go rob a bank, and as long as I drive in the incoming lanes, they should let me go?
@@Edward_Bernays first off it sounds to me your dummy, you lack basic intelligence, What I’m saying at a high speed pursue police shouldnt have pursue a speeding car going in the opposite direction risking civilian lives. Edward By pursuing this clown toward incoming traffic what do you think would have happened, it’s high speed chase, I wonder this was your family member who died, you still think it’s ok to pursue high speed chase incoming traffic
😢
What’s a social media vehicle
God bless their souls
Just saying anytime the police reacts to such incidents end up causing more damage.
Wow. What a tragedy for the innocent victims. 💔
Sadly, this is just a preview of more diversity is our strength crimes to come for Canada, but especially Ontario.
Give out your location to experience diversity is our strength crimes first hand
Ban cars.
There's someone on top of the train
"possibly the U-Haul van"
Not possibly, but factually. Video of the van going the wrong way is on youtube since yesterday.
Pathetic CP24.
I hear you.
I guess you should be calling ALL news outlets pathetic (and you probably do), since they will ALL err on the side of ‘caution’ and use deliberately vague terms.
Same thing with the word SUSPECT(S).
They have to say that. Calm down. Adding the word “possibly” to show they aren’t 100% sure is good journalism. This is real life not some Tv show on Netflix
@MrGittz where was this caution by the mainstream media when they were all promoting the Covid vaccine as being 100% safe and effective?

I've seen wrong way drivers several times, especially at early hours.
Allwways thing happens when police over react.
i will wait for the truth instead of this tidbit of who what where when and how . update at 11
wtf was the police doing pursuing into oncoming traffic
Police shouldn't have pursued the career criminal, they should have let him get away and catch him later when he is off the road. Obviously that A-holes name, finger prints is in the Police data base, officers already know who he is... my condolences to the families. Very heart wrenching.
Now new comers here specially pedestrians are doing random stuff on the roads not knowing the rules
As opposed to the people who are born here or who have been here a while who don't know the rules or choose to ignore them ?

@dee1353 at least someone agrees
... all the lives lost is it worth it??? 🍷🍷🍷Alcohol does more harm than good
How do people keep getting stupider by the day
Because women make up 90% of teachers.
So, a guy steals a bottle of liquor, loses his life and takes three innocent lives including an infant along with him. Was it worth it??...over a bottle of liquor?? In my small northern city, people shoplift on the regular in our neighborhood Walmart. Police do not even bother showing up. They just let them walk. The real tragedy was how the police handled this endangering EVERYONE on that highway. It simply was NOT WORTH the pursuit. I can't imagine delivering that news to the parents of that baby. Sorry, but, i believe the police are squarely at fault here for endangering innocent lives and destroying more lives at home. What a shame.
What makes you think they wouldn't have crashed regardless if the cops chased them or not? My sweet summer child, they were driving on the wrong side of the road on a busy highway! He was already doomed the second he entered the 401 - so why blame the cops for HIS actions? Are you saying police shouldn't pursue robberies anymore, so we don't risk the public safety on the road if they decide to drive in the incoming lane?
@@Edward_Bernays I am saying that the police could employ MANY strategies to catch criminals. Exacerbating a police chase only aggravates the situation. They receive training continuously to protect the public good. How did they protect other motorists by taking out an entire family including an infant and, for what, a bottle of liquor?? You may have thought differently if it were your baby. I know, first hand, what it is like to lose a young child over a police chase. That family has been forever traumatized.
I couldn't agree with you more. The police endangered everybody and they didn't make the right call. All because somebody stole liquor. Absolutely disgusting.
Lol, you guys are clowns. Are you literally suggesting crimes should be permissible, such as armed robbery and a stolen vehicle, because it's not worth pursuing in case someone gets hurt? You do know he was driving erratically in town before the 401 and could have killed somebody. But judging from these comment sections, you'd still blame the cops if the criminal hurt somebody elsewhere. And you'd blame them if they did nothing too. Literally no winning with you people. Disgusting.
@@dee1353 The cops wouldn't know that. All that is told is "Armed robbery in a stolen vehicle going east-bound."
He was also driving erratically in town before he even hit the highway. But something tells me you would still blame the police if he got into an accident in town.
Name and ethnicity of suspect please!
Youll never know. Because that info is kept secret, you can safely and correctly assume..
Have to wait for the family to prepare the usual, “He was a good boy who loved his family and was turning his life around after being with the wrong crowd.” blame police and society sob story first.

So sad

Police should NEVER pursue in a busy area, unless it is to try to stop a mass murderer in the act.
So many times the pursuit results in the death of innocent citizens.
i totally agree with you. We could say its the polices fault too😞
If that was real RCMP policy every crime, in the future, will be committed in busy areas, at busy times. Might be a slow grid-locked get away, but get-away the criminals would always do. Oh yes, only with stolen vehicles. Just how will that decrease the crime rate in Canada?
@@qualicumwilson5168 It would at least stop all these crashes involving innocent people. I guess you won't care until some of those killed are your family. Our crime rate will never be reduced anyway.
@@clairecarscallen2925 but wouldn't what your proposing just give criminals more leeway and increase crime rates? The perp drove into the incoming lane, the chances of an accident were imminent regardless if they continued the pursuit or not. REGARDLESS. That accident would have happened. So why blame police for this?
@@clairecarscallen2925 I mean, why have police if they have a policy of not trying to arrest criminals? Innocents deaths are terrible, but how many innocents deaths were caused by people being convinced to not get vaccinated against everything for mumps to tetanus.
Suspect robbed an LLCBO and had a knife. Simple to post an image of the suspect. Why wait?
The criminal thought that matrix shit was plausible
Blame TJ!
Wow. Have they stopped giving out brains at the cop school?
Don’t blame the police one bit. The criminals choose to enter the highway the wrong way. So sorry for the innocent people that passed

What I'm about to say won't be popular, but it is a consideration. The police need to lower the testosterone levels and know when to call off a chase because it is a danger to the public. As soon as it became a chase going the wrong way on a major thoroughfare, it should have been called off. Perhaps lives could have been saved.
They are they always pumped up and ready to go.
