Toronto Paramedics confirm three people are dead and two more are injured following a horrific vehicle crash at Jane at Shepard this morning.
According to Const. Clint Stibbe an Acura collided with a Mercedes Benz at Jane and Steeles and continued southbound on Jane Street to Sheppard Avenue.
The Acura lost control, struck another vehicle and hit a light standard trees and then rolled over.
A number of the occupants were ejected from the vehicle and three people, one woman and two men, were pronounced dead at the scene.
A fourth person was rushed to a trauma centre in critical condition and a fifth person suffered serious injuries, Stibbe said.
All five people injured in the crash were travelling in the Acura.
Stibbe said the victims range in age from 19 to mid-to-late 20s.
“In the end, what we have here is three families that have now been devastated as a result of this loss.”
Stibbe said police are also working to determine if alcohol is a factor in the crash.
“I think it is pretty evident, based on the totality of the damage to the vehicle, that speed is a factor without a doubt,” he added.
