A man is in hospital with serious injuries after a car crashed into a barrier at a construction site early Monday morning.
Toronto police told CP24 investigators are eyeing speed as a possible factor in the single-vehicle crash, which occurred at Keele Street and Finch Avenue West about 3 a.m.
It’s believed the car was travelling north on Keele Street when it crashed into a temporary barrier at the site of a subway expansion project.
The crash shut down the intersection of Keele Street and Finch Avenue West until 5:20 a.m.
Car crashes into tree
Meanwhile, one person is in custody after a car crashed into a tree in a backyard on Yonge Boulevard, near Wilson Avenue and Yonge Street, early Monday morning.
Police told CP24 the car’s driver fled police at high speeds before the crash occurred at about 4 a.m.
The car’s two occupants fled on foot, so police set up a perimeter in the area. One person was arrested and the second is still being sought.
The person who was arrested suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the collision, police said.
