The SIU is investigating a two-vehicle crash that left a 14-year-old seriously injured. Beth Macdonell has the latest.

A 14-year-old boy is in hospital with serious injuries after a collision involving two vehicles in Scarborough early Sunday morning.

In an email to CP24.com, the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) confirmed the teen was behind the wheel of a vehicle that collided with another car at Kingston Road and Lawrence Avenue East just before 1 a.m., following a police pursuit.

According to investigators, a Toronto police officer in a marked cruiser attempted to stop the underage driver for speeding when the collision occurred.

He was transported to hospital, while three occupants of the other vehicle, a white electric Polestar with a baby seat in the back seat, walked away without any serious injuries, officials said.

Earlier, police said three people had been taken to hospital, including two with non-life-threatening injuries.

Paramedics also confirmed to CP24.com that a child was on scene but was not transported.
