Six people are being taken to hospital after a multiple-vehicle collision in Toronto, police say.
Toronto police said the collision occurred at 6:40 p.m. in the Islington Avenue and Springbrook Gardens area.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday evening, Toronto police Duty Insp. Jeff Banglid said four vehicles in total were involved in the incident.
Three vehicles were involved in the collision and a fourth vehicle was struck by debris, Banglid said.
According to police, six people were taken to hospital.
Toronto paramedics told Global news there were three female and three male patients.
One male and one female each suffered serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, paramedics said.
Four others suffered minor injuries.
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.
