Two elderly people were injured Friday afternoon in a serious car crash that saw the vehicle crash into a pole and flip on its side.

The crash happened in front of a Bank of Montreal at Bathurst and Frontenac, just south of Lawrence Avenue in Toronto’s Caribou Park neighbourhood.

A view of the scene from the CP24 helicopter shows a number of emergency vehicles at the scene surrounding the red car.

Toronto police spokesperson Const. Caroline de Kloet told CP24 the two people in the vehicle are conscious and breathing but will need to be extricated from the vehicle. They will be transported to hospital.

Police have closed Bathurst Street between Dell Park and Shelborne avenues to traffic while they survey the scene for evidence related to the crash.
