Four people were rushed to the hospital after a single‑vehicle crash on Finch Avenue West in North York early Thursday that also disrupted TTC Line 6 service, and a novice driver was behind wheel.
Emergency crews were called to the area of Finch Avenue West and Milady Road at around 12:45 a.m. for reports of a vehicle that had crashed.
Four people were transported to the hospital with serious but non‑life‑threatening injuries. The injured includes a 15-year-old girl, a 72-year-old woman, a 54-year-old woman and a 57-year-old man who was driving the vehicle.
Police confirmed the collision involved one vehicle and occurred just east of Islington Avenue.
Police tell 680 NewsRadio that the driver held only a G1 licence and is now facing charges. One of the restrictions for the licence classification includes a midnight to 5 a.m. driving curfew.
The TTC suspended Line 6 Finch West service between Albion and Duncanwoods stations due to the police investigation, which is expected to last until the afternoon. Shuttle buses are running in the affected stretch.
Police have not released details on what caused the crash, but speed is believed to have been a factor. The investigation is ongoing.
