Police are sorting out a collision involving three vehicles in which three teens on foot were hit and injured. Two boys and a girl between 13 and 14 years old were struck at the Don Mills Road and Lawrence Avenue East location about 8:30 Halloween night. Two have gone to hospital with serious injuries.

“Not posting any pictures out of respect for the people injured. Heard a huge smash, went out on my balcony to see a car on my building’s lawn and bodies on the ground. Lots of people rushed to help right away. The people hit seem to be moving, from what I can see. Lots of police, fire and ambulance on scene now. Was pretty awful to see this not long after the post about reckless drivers endangering pedestrians. There’s a Halloween bag and candy scattered across the lawn of the building. Sucked to hear the kids screaming as the were loaded onto backboards/stretchers. But if you’re screaming then you’re alive, at least. If it went down the way it looks like it went down, one of the people hit ended up 50 or 60 feet from where they were hit.”
