Police dogs were brought in to help with the search, after the crash happened around 5 a.m. near Steeles Avenue and Martin Grove Road.

Nearly two hours earlier, another driver was arrested for allegedly driving while impaired. That driver hit a pole with his car near O’Connor Drive and Broadview Avenue.

In a third incident, at about 1 a.m. a car ran into a pole at the intersection of Danforth Avenue and Danforth Road, just west of Warden Avenue.
Police have not yet said whether charges will be laid in that case.
