This marks the second incident at Shroomyz in less than a week. On Aug. 6, Toronto Fire Services responded to a blaze at the same location around 3:30 a.m., which police are treating as a suspected arson.

Police have not confirmed whether Monday’s storefront crash is connected to last week’s fire, and it’s unclear whether the business was targeted in the hit-and-run collision.

Shroomyz, located at 502 Yonge Street, is one of several unauthorized psilocybin dispensaries operating in Toronto.
