An SUV and a van taxi were in collision at Jarvis St. and Gerrard St. early Sunday setting off a reaction in which two other cars ran into a utility pole. The pole fell onto the cars. Then sparks started a fire that consumed the vehicles. As resident Nicole Quevillon @NicolyWoly said on Twitter: “Huge accident at Gerrard and Jarvis. Woke up to yelling and saw a crowd of people pulling others out of the cars.” She took the picture below. In all of this a man, 47, has life-threatening injuries and two others are in hospital as well.
Utmost respect for the first responders at the crash last night. Thank you @Toronto_Fire @TPSOperations. @CBCToronto pic.twitter.com/GITOJQLAcu
