Speed was a factor in a multi-vehicle crash in Etobicoke that sent six people to hospital on Wednesday evening, say police.
The collision happened around 6:40 p.m. near Islington Avenue and Springbrook Gardens, just south of Bloor Street West.
Speaking to reporters at the scene, Duty Insp. Jeff Banglid said that three vehicles were involved in an initial crash at the intersection.

He said that the driver of a white Maserati was travelling northbound on Islington Avenue when they were stuck by the driver of a vehicle coming westbound and turning northbound onto Islington. A third vehicle travelling southbound was then struck by the Maserati driver, Banglid said.
“Two of those vehicles have now come to rest on the west side of Islington, and the other vehicle directly behind me stayed in the northbound lanes,” he said.
Banglid said that a fourth vehicle, a BMW, was hit by some of the debris from the crash. He noted that the driver of that vehicle was not injured.
Paramedics said that they transported six people to hospital, three females and three males. Two of the patients were listed in serious but non-life-threatening condition, while the others sustained minor injuries, they said.
