The Special Investigations Unit says six people have been injured and four of them have been arrested after a crash in Scarborough involving an alleged stolen vehicle.
The SIU, an agency that investigates the conduct of officers when there are civilian injuries, said it is investigating the crash as the Toronto Police were involved just prior to the collision.
The police watchdog said the crash happened on Monday at around 10:30 p.m. near Eglinton Avenue and Brimley Road after officers were conducting mobile traffic enforcement in the area and saw a Honda CRV speeding.

The officers followed the vehicle, which then crashed at the intersection, striking an Audi before driving into an empty bus shelter, the SIU said.
Toronto Police said one of the vehicles involved in the collision is “on file” as a stolen vehicle.
Police said the stolen vehicle had five people inside; one of them is being sought by police. The other four people, who were taken to hospital and arrested, are two men, a 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy.
The driver of the other vehicle, a 51-year-old man, sustained only minor injuries, police said. The SIU noted another person in the Audi was also taken to hospital for assessment.
