A spokesperson for Ornge told Global News it dispatched multiple ambulances to the scene.
“One paediatric patient is currently being transported to Sick Kids with critical injuries,” it said.
“One male patient in his 60s transported to St. Michael’s Hospital with critical injuries (and) one patient being transported to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre with critical injuries.”
Details of injuries remain unclear. Shortly after the crash was first reported, Peel paramedics suggested there could be as many as nine people with injuries, including one in critical condition.
Peel Regional Police also said they were responding to the scene to assist emergency crews.
There was no immediate word on what led to the incident.
