Three people taken to hospital after a pickup and sedan collide on the DVP in Scarborough
A pickup and a sedan slammed into each other on the Don Valley Parkway near Warden Avenue early Tuesday, sending three occupants to the hospital while police investigate.
It was still dark, the kind of early‑morning hush you only hear in Toronto before the rush hour kicks in, when a pickup truck and a sedan met head‑on on the Don Valley Parkway near Warden Avenue. The impact was enough to fling both vehicles onto the shoulder, metal crunching and glass shattering in a way that made every passing driver glance twice.
First responders arrived within minutes, lights flashing, sirens wailing. Paramedics pulled three people from the wreckage – two in the pickup and one in the sedan – and rushed them to the nearest hospitals. Their injuries ranged from what officials described as “moderate” to “serious,” but all three are currently in stable condition, according to hospital spokespersons.
Toronto Police Service officers set up a perimeter, directing traffic away from the busy stretch of the highway. While they haven’t released a definitive cause, they noted that weather was clear, the road surface was dry, and there were no reports of drugs or alcohol involvement at this stage. “We’re treating this as a standard collision investigation,” a spokesperson said, adding that anyone with information is asked to call the police.
The crash caused a brief but significant backup on the DVP – a lane or two was closed while crews cleared debris and towed the damaged vehicles. Drivers stuck in the jam muttered about the timing, some joking that “it’s the only thing that can stop me from being late to work.”
Officials reminded motorists to keep a safe following distance, especially during the early hours when visibility can be tricky and attention spans may be lower. They also urged anyone who witnessed the accident to come forward, no matter how small the detail might seem.
