A woman believed to be six months pregnant suffered serious injuries after she lost control of her vehicle and crashed in front of a long-term care home in Scarborough.
Toronto Police Service (TPS) officers were notified of the collision just after 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday in the Ellesmere Road and Neilson Road area.
TPS said the driver lost control, resulting in the vehicle flipping over and crashing just in front of the building located at 9 Neilson Road, the address for Seven Oaks Long-Term Care Home.
Toronto Paramedic Services tell 680News Radio a woman in her 40s was transported to a trauma centre with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Toronto Fire told CityNews officials assisted with the emergency response, and the woman was extricated from her car, which flipped onto its side.
680News Radio confirmed that the woman is pregnant. The unborn child is expected to be okay, and a CT scan was being done as a precaution.
A City of Toronto spokesperson confirmed with CityNews that the woman is an employee of the long-term care home.
“Our thoughts are with our staff member and their family while they receive medical attention.”
There is minor damage to the front of the long-term care home, but no residents were injured.
The investigation is ongoing.
