Woman may have been pushed out of moving vehicle in Etobicoke, driver arrested: TPS

Toronto police have charged a driver after he allegedly crashed into multiple police cruisers as investigators work to determine if a woman who suffered serious injuries was pushed out of the moving car.

Officers were called to the area of Highway 27 and Humber College Boulevard just after 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday after getting reports of an erratic driver involved in a crash.

Investigators say a two-door black car fled the area before officers arrived, and witnesses reported seeing a woman falling from the vehicle. Police say they are trying to determine if the woman fell, was pushed, or jumped out of the moving vehicle on her own.

“The reports were concerning because the people who called [911] were alleging that it looked like a woman in the vehicle… [she was] a passenger in the vehicle, was either pushed or fell from a moving vehicle,” Const. Laura Brabant told reporters on Wednesday evening.

“We are still investigating the circumstances surrounding how this woman fell.”

The woman was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Police are still trying to determine the relationship between the driver and the woman.

Officers found the driver and the vehicle at a gas station near Highway 27 and Albion Road.

Const. Brabant said the driver crashed into multiple police cruisers, and an officer was also injured during the arrest. The police officer was treated at a local hospital with a serious but non-life-threatening hand injury.

The officer was taken to hospital with a serious but non-life-threatening hand injury.

Police confirm the driver is facing several charges, including dangerous driving. Investigators do not believe impairment was a factor in the collisions.

Anyone with additional information is being asked to contact police.
