An elderly man suffered life-threatening injuries following a two-vehicle crash in Vaughan overnight.
A black SUV collided with a white minivan near Highway 7 and Jane Street at around 3:15 a.m.
Police confirmed that a 78-year-old man, who was a passenger of the minivan, sustained critical injuries. He was taken to Sunnybrook Hospital for treatment.
York Regional Police’s major collision unit is investigating the cause of the crash.
