Toronto police say a 13-year-old boy and a 39-year-old man suffered serious injuries after a crash involving a car and a TTC bus late Monday.

Emergency crews were called to the scene on Bathurst Street near Haddington Avenue, just south of Highway 401, at around 11:30 p.m. for reports of a collision.

Police said a black Hyundai was heading north on Bathurst in the right lane while a TTC bus, also heading north, was in the left lane.

The Hyundai then made a turn in the path of the bus and the two collided, police said.

A 39-year-old man was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, while a 13-year-old boy was seriously injured and was also taken to hospital.
