Four people killed, including a baby and his grandparents. A horrific head-on collision on Canada’s busiest highway that could have been even more deadly, according to eyewitnesses. All caused by a driver fleeing police after allegedly holding up a liquor store.

The driver, international student Gagandeep Singh of Milton, Ont., was out on bail for multiple charges of theft and robbery. According to police, he was also under investigation for carjacking and subject to a driving ban. The case sparked outrage not just because it took the lives of three innocent people, but because it feels like this was a tragedy waiting to happen.
