A 17-year-old girl was killed and two other people injured after a single-vehicle crash in Markham.
The crash happened at 14th Avenue and Markham Road around 3:05 a.m. on Friday.
It appears the SUV left the road, rolled, and struck a wall at some point. The vehicle, a white Range Rover, had extensive damage, police said.
A 21-year-old woman and a 22-year-old woman were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Later in the day, police said the condition of the driver had improved and she has been charged in connection with the incident.
