Three people have been seriously injured following a single-car crash in Etobicoke.
Police say the car slammed into a concrete barrier on Eglinton Avenue West between Scarlett Road and Royal York Road just after 2:30 a.m. Saturday.
A 2012 Honda Civic was travelling at a high rate of speed westbound on Eglinton Avenue West in the left lane, as the right lane was under construction.
The driver lost control of the vehicle and collided into the concrete barrier of the construction zone. Police say the reason for loss of control is unknown.
The area where the crash occurred is part of the Eglinton Crosstown West LRT extension.
Paramedics say two male passengers were taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, and one female passenger was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries and remains in critical condition.
Eglinton Avenue between Scarlett Road and Royal York Road, which had been closed for accident reconstruction, was reopened to traffic just before 9:30 a.m.
