Investigators say the driver of a grey vehicle rear-ended a white vehicle as traffic came to a stop. The white vehicle then rear-ended another white vehicle in front of it.

The 10-year-old Beamsville boy in the first white vehicle was transported to a trauma centre, where he later died.

All other drivers and passengers of the two white vehicles were taken to local hospitals with minor injuries.

Bakker was not injured and remained at the scene.
