The father who survived a multi-vehicle crash in Whitby, Ont., after a wrong-way police pursuit on Highway 401 said he and his wife are suffering “profound grief” following the deaths of his parents and infant son.

Manivannan Srinivasapillai, 60, Mahalakshmi Ananthakrishnan, 55, and three-month-old Aditya Vivaan were killed last week after the U-Haul van driven by a man accused of robbing an LCBO was involved in a multi-vehicle collision on the 401.
