Editor’s note: The headline for a previous version of this story incorrectly stated the driver is facing impaired charges. This has been corrected to state the driver has been charged with dangerous driving.
One person died and another was injured after a collision in Toronto early Sunday.
Two vehicles crashed in the area of Dundas Street West and Nottingham Drive just after 4:30 a.m.
Two vehicles were travelling ‘at a high rate of speed’ on Dundas Street at that time, police said. They reportedly lost control and crashed into ‘fixed objects’ on the road.
One of the vehicles, a silver SUV, ended up in the yard of a residential home, police said. The driver of the SUV, a 37-year-old man, was declared dead at the scene.
Another person, the passenger of a black pickup truck, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Police said the driver of the truck was arrested at the scene.
The driver, 27-year-old Christian Salazar, faces a charge of dangerous operation causing death and another for dangerous operation causing bodily harm. The charges have not been proven in court.
Police said the investigation is ongoing.
