A driver is in life-threatening condition after their vehicle crashed into a tree in Scarborough on Friday evening. The incident occurred at around 8:25 p.m. EDT, according to Toronto paramedics.
Details of the Crash
Paramedics responded to the scene in the area of Kingston Road and Lawrence Avenue East, where a car had struck a tree. The driver, whose identity has not been released, suffered critical injuries and was transported to a trauma centre. No other injuries were reported.
