Toronto police say a 21-year-old driver has been charged following a single-vehicle collision that left two teenage boys with life-threatening injuries over the weekend.
Police were called to the scene northeast of St. Clair Avenue West and Jane Street before 1 a.m. on Saturday.
According to police, “for reasons not yet determined” the 2004 Honda Odyssey minivan mounted a curb while travelling southbound on Rockcliffe Boulevard and then struck two trees. Police said the van ended up cut in half.
Two boys, 16 and 17 years old, suffered life-threatening injuries and three others were taken to hospital with various levels of injury, police said.
Abdiraham Mohamed, of Toronto, has been charged with four counts of dangerous operation of a vehicle causing bodily harm.
He made an appearance in court on Tuesday.
