Banglid said one teenager, a passenger in one of the vehicles, was among those involved in the collision.

According to Banglid, the cause of the collision remains under investigation.

“The information that we have is that a white Maserati was travelling north down … Islington, where it was struck by a vehicle coming west down turning northbound on Islington Avenue,” Banglid said. “That resulted in a third vehicle coming southbound that was struck by the white Maserati.”

Banglid said two vehicles came to rest on the west side of Islington Avenue, while another ended up on the northbound lanes.

Roads were closed in the area.

Anyone with information or who may have video footage of the collision is asked to contact police.
