Police are searching for a driver who fled the scene of a multiple-car collision on the Gardiner Expressway.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday, Toronto police said they received a call at 8:47 p.m., reporting a collision on the Gardiner Expressway at Islington Avenue.
According to police a GO Transit bus was involved in the collision, and one vehicle landed on its side.
Anne Marie Aikins, a spokesperson for Metrolinx, said the GO bus was “in service with passengers on board.”
Aikins said the driver of the bus and the passengers are being taken care of by emergency medical services personnel.
“Extent of injuries unknown at this point but more information will be coming shortly,” she wrote in a tweet.
One driver, police said, was trapped inside their vehicle.
“Another driver appears to have fled the scene on foot,” officers said adding it to be the driver of an Audi involved in the collision.
