A 41-year-old woman is in hospital with life-threatening injuries following a single-vehicle crash on the Don Valley Parkway (DVP) off-ramp to Bayview/Bloor.

Emergency responders were called to the scene around 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday.

Toronto police say a passenger van was heading west on the Bayview/Bloor after exiting the southbound DVP when the driver crossed over into the eastbound lanes and struck the guardrail on the south side of the roadway.

The woman was initially transported to hospital with serious injuries. Paramedics later confirmed that her injuries are life-threatening.

Police tell 680 NewsRadio impaired driving is being investigated as a factor in the crash.

As a result of the collision, traffic was blocked on both the northbound and southbound DVP ramps to Bayview/Bloor. The ramps reopened around 10:30 a.m.
