Police say an elderly woman is dead after becoming trapped in a vehicle following a collision in Toronto.
In a tweet Friday just after 3:40 p.m., Toronto police said the collision occurred in the Victoria Park and Surrey Place area.
Police said two vehicles were involved in the collision.
Police said a Toyota Corolla being driven by an 74-year-old woman was turning left into a plaza from Victoria Park Avenue. As the car was making the turn, a Land Rover Ranger driven by a 26-year-old man collided with it.
Officers said the passenger of one became trapped inside the vehicle and was not conscious or breathing.
According to police, officers were at the scene providing CPR compressions through the car window.
Police said an elderly woman was “revived” and was taken to a local trauma centre for further treatment.
However, in an update, police said the 86-year-old passenger had succumbed to her injuries in hospital.
Police said two other people — the driver of each of the vehicles — were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
