Five people were injured in a crash involving a stolen vehicle in Scarborough, and several arrests were made, including multiple youths, the Toronto Police Service (TPS) said.
TPS officers were conducting traffic enforcement in the Eglinton Avenue and Brimley Road area just after 10:30 p.m. on Monday when they noticed a speeding Honda CRV.
Officers pursued the vehicle before the driver of the Honda struck an Audi and crashed into a vacant bus shelter. According to police, one of the vehicles involved had been reported stolen.
A TPS spokesperson tells CityNews the stolen vehicle had five occupants, and four of them were transported to a local hospital with serious injuries.
The other driver, a 51-year-old man, suffered minor injuries.
Four people, including two male adults aged 18 and 19, a 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy, were arrested. A 16-year-old girl remains wanted, police said.
TPS confirmed the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has been called in to investigate.
The SIU is an independent civilian agency that probes incidents where people died or were seriously injured. Investigators also review incidents where sexual assault has been alleged or a firearm was discharged at a person.
