A 94-year-old woman is dead and two men in their 60s are in hospital with non-life threatening injuries after a car crashed into a building in Little Italy Thursday afternoon.

According to police, a Toyota Camry was travelling northbound in an alleyway near College Street and Euclid Avenue when it failed to negotiate a turn and collided head-on with the back wall of a building at around 2:30 p.m.

All three occupants of the vehicle were rushed to hospital, however the elderly woman was pronounced dead a short time later.

The woman was travelling in the front passenger seat of the vehicle.

The cause of the crash has not yet been determined.

"We have cordoned off the area and we are going to start collecting some of the physical evidence," Const. Hugh Smith told CP24 at the scene late Thursday afternoon. "There is a lot of mechanical stuff we have to look at. Why wasn't there any breaking here? Also right now I am only seeing a partial deployment of one airbag, so we have a lot of things to look at."

Smith said police are unsure of the relationship between the three people travelling in the car but are investigating the possibility that they may be related.

Paramedics previously said that they faced a language barrier in treating the victims.
