Motorists rescued after ‘extreme flooding’ shuts down Mississauga street

Heavy rains Saturday night through Sunday (Oct. 27) morning caused flooding in some areas of Mississauga including Torbram Road just south of Rena Road, where some motorists had to be rescued by emergency services due to rising waters.

A van and one car were trapped, with only a small portion of the submerged vehicle visible above the water.

“Extreme Road Flooding. Torbram, south of Rena Road, Mississauga. PRP and Mississauga Fire on scene to assist drivers that are stuck. City has been notified. Please avoid the area. Call at 4:54am,” tweeted Peel police early Sunday morning.
