The four people killed in a fiery single-vehicle crash in downtown Toronto on Thursday have been identified by police as a 26-year-old man, 29-year-old man, 32-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman.
Police have not released their names.
Another woman, a 25-year-old, was sent to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries after a 2024 Tesla crashed on Lake Shore Blvd. E., hitting a guard rail and then a concrete pillar, before bursting into flames near Cherry St. shortly after midnight on Thursday.
The injured woman was rescued by a passing motorist who stopped to help.
“(The motorist) provided assistance and was able to extricate one of the females,” Toronto Police Duty Insp. Phillip Sinclair told reporters.
Police believe that speed was a factor in the crash and are asking local residents and drivers who may have dash-camera footage or who witnessed the incident to call investigators at 416-808-1900. Information can also be shared to Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), or at 222tips.com.
