Three hurt in accident

Three people sustained serious injuries after an early morning accident that police say involved alcohol.

At approximately 3 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 10, police were called to Simcoe Street North near Robert Street for an accident. According to police, a northbound Volkswagen Jetta was speeding on the road when it lost control, went off the road and hit a tree and an apartment building.

Three of the car’s five passengers, including the 24-year-old female driver, suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries in the crash and were taken to Toronto area hospitals.

A fourth occupant was uninjured and the fifth occupant, who had left the scene before police arrived, did not report any injuries.

Police have said they believe alcohol was a factor in the collision.

Anyone with new information on this incident is asked to call Det. Const. McDonald at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 5213.
