On Monday, April 27, 2026, shortly after 5:30 p.m., members of the Northumberland OPP responded to reports of a single-vehicle collision involving a motorcycle on Highway 401 eastbound near Burnham Street North. Tragically, OPP Sergeant Brandon Malcolm was pronounced deceased at the scene.
A procession to escort Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Sergeant Brandon Malcolm from the Centre of Forensic Sciences in Toronto to Oshawa will take place on Thursday, April 30, 2026.
The procession will depart from the Centre of Forensic Sciences in Toronto around 1:00 p.m. and travel eastbound on Highway 401 to Oshawa. For the safety of those involved, the OPP respectfully requests that only OPP approved vehicles and designated members participate in the procession.
Members of the public who wish to show their support may join first responders in showing their respect from one of the many overpasses along Highway 401 between Keele Street and Thickson Road South. To help ensure everyone’s safety, please avoid obstructing traffic or stopping on the highway to exit your vehicle.
The OPP will livestream the procession on YouTube @ontarioprovincialpolice.
We extend our sincere appreciation to first responders and community members for the compassion and support you have demonstrated to the OPP during this difficult time. Members of the public are invited to sign the book of condolences, established in memory of Sergeant Malcolm, at //opp.ca/news.
Funeral arrangements are still in the early stages. More information will be released as it becomes available.
