Mississauga driver facing charges in fatal crash in Acton Continued from pg. 1 injuries at the scene and was pronounced dead by EMS workers. The Independent & Free Press has learned the deceased was Jeffrey Sandles, father of a nine-month-old son, Noah. "Noah changed his (Jeffrey's) life for the better. He was a proud father who couldn't have had nearly enough time with Noah," said Sandles' father Brian, also of Campbellville. "He was just a great person to know." The Erin female, 18, was airlifted to a Toronto area hospital where Monday police reported she was in critical, but stable condition. The driver and a 20-year old Mississauga man who was a passenger in the car, suffered non-life threatening injuries. They fled the scene and were later found by police and taken into custody. One of the Georgetown women in the vehicle suffered a broken pelvis, and the other 20-year-old woman from Georgetown suffered a dislocated pelvis and other injuries. The Halton Police canine unit responded to the collision and police searched the area for the two men who had fled. A few hours after the crash, police found the driver on a street in downtown Acton. He had sustained several non-life threatening injuries and was taken to Georgetown Hospital where he was treated and later released. The other Mississauga man, who also fled, was found in Mississauga with the assistance of Peel Regional Police. He is facing charges unrelated to the collision. Police say alcohol and speed are considered factors in the crash, and additional charges could be laid. 3 Independent & Free Press, Tuesday, April 6, 2010 A scarred tree trunk in front of this Acton home is all that remains of Saturday's horrific crash at the corner of Young and Queen Streets in which one person was killed and five others, one critically, were injured.
