A funeral service for a York Region police officer killed in a collision last week is being held Thursday in Markham.

A private service for Const. Travis Gillespie will take place at 1:30 p.m. at the Chapel Ridge Funeral Home and Cremation Centre in Markham.

Gillespie, 38, was pronounced dead at the scene of a crash involving his white Honda Accord and a Porsche Cayenne last Wednesday.

York Regional Police Chief Jim MacSween has said Gillespie was on his way to work at the time of the collision.

A 23-year-old Markham man has been charged with impaired operation causing death and dangerous operation causing death.

Gillespie was sworn in as a police constable in April 2020 and is survived by his parents.
