Four young people have been taken to hospital after a horrific car crash at College Street and Lansdowne Avenue, early Wednesday morning.

The black Porsche Panamera was filled with young teenagers, all under the age of 16, out on a joyride.

Around 3 a.m., the vehicle was torn in two after it went off the road at high speed and struck a pole.

The front engine section of the car was ripped off at impact.

The 13-year-old boy driving, without a license, has a severe leg injury, likely life altering.
