Toronto police responded to a collision involving a passenger vehicle and a TTC streetcar early Sunday morning.

The crash happened in the downtown core just after 5:30 a.m. at the intersection of Bay Street and Richmond Street West.

Police say the collision derailed the streetcar. No injuries were reported.

Roads in the area were closed for several hours and reopened around 9 a.m.

The closure led to detours on the 501 streetcar and 19 bus. Regular service has resumed on both routes.
