A family is mourning after a young boy was fatally injured in a rear-end collision while his father was attempting to aid a stranded driver.
The five-year-old died on Wednesday night following the crash on the eastbound Gardiner Expressway near Kipling Avenue.
Police say the boy's father pulled his Toyota vehicle over to the shoulder at about 8:20 p.m. to help the driver of a Honda that had been involved in a single car collision.
The man's wife and their two sons, ages five and seven, were sitting in the parked Toyota when it was struck from behind by a vehicle driven by a 32-year-old man.
The children and their mother were taken to hospital, where the five-year-old boy died just after 11 p.m.
The injuries to the other son and his mother were not life-threatening.
The identities of the victim and his family members have not been released

That really sucks, he was being a good samaritan and now he lost his son.
