3 people arrested after car flees police leading to serious crash in Etobicoke

Ontario's police watchdog is investigating an early morning crash in Etobicoke that left five people injured.

Three people were arrested in connection with a serious car crash that happened in Etobicoke early Saturday morning.

The province’s police watchdog, the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), says an Acura carrying two teens and an 18-year-old male fled from police during a traffic stop just after midnight.

The Acura was later involved in a collision with a Ford Escape near Carlingview Drive and Disco Road, west of Highway 27, that seriously injured three people. Their condition is non-life-threatening.

The SIU say the occupants of the Acura abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene on foot. They were arrested a short time later and were not seriously injured.

Toronto police say the two youths and the 18-year-old have each been charged with five firearms-related offences and possession of property obtained by crime exceeding $5,000.

The SIU is an independent government agency that investigates the conduct of police officials that may have resulted in death, serious injury, sexual assault and/or the discharge of a firearm at a person.
