One person is dead and three others have been taken to hospital after a collision in Toronto, police say.
Toronto police said the collision occurred at around 10:55 a.m. on Monday in the Brimley Road and Lawrence Avenue East area.
Toronto police Duty Insp. Michael Hayles told reporters a white vehicle was travelling eastbound on Lawrence Avenue East and a silver car was travelling westbound on the road.
“At this point, investigators do believe that the vehicles came into contact within the intersection at Lawrence Avenue and Brimley, and one driver in his 60s was pronounced deceased at the scene as a result of the injuries sustained during the collision,” Hayles said.
Hayles said the other driver, who is 19 years old was taken to a trauma centre with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
“Now there were two other additional occupants of the silver vehicle. They have also been transported to hospital,” Hayles said. “Their ages are undetermined at this point, and they were also described as having serious but non-life-threatening injuries and they also remain in hospital at this point.”
Hayles said a cyclist who was in the area at the time of the incident was struck by some debris from the collision, but was not seriously injured and “left the scene of his own volition.”
Toronto paramedics told Global News one person suffered serious injuries, while the other two sustained moderate serious injuries.
Officers said the intersection was closed for investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
