Toronto police say a man in his 20s has been charged with careless driving after video posted on social media shows a BMW crashing violently after it leaves a road.
A police spokesperson told Global News emergency crews were called to Bartor Road, south of Sheppard Avenue West beside Highway 400, at around 2:20 a.m. on Sunday after a white BMW 335i crashed.
In a video shared on the Instagram account CarsWithoutLimits, the BMW can be seen travelling southbound on Bartor Road behind another vehicle at a high rate of speed when it quickly veers to the east side of the road.
The car can be seen crashing into a retaining wall, knocking down a pole, and spinning around several times as it careens down Bartor Road.
The BMW narrowly misses several people gathered at the side of the road.
