Provincial police have identified three people killed in a single-vehicle rollover crash on Highway 427 in Etobicoke earlier this week.
OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt says the four occupants of the vehicle were international students from Bangladesh who were living in Toronto on a study permit.
The three deceased were passengers in the car and have been identified as a 20-year-old male, 20-year-old female, and 17-year-old male. The driver, a 21-year-old male, remains in hospital in critical condition.
Schmidt says the names of the victim’s are not being released at this time.
The crash occurred on the southbound Highway 427 ramp to Dundas Street around 11:30 p.m. Monday.
Emergency crews responded to the scene after getting reports of a rollover and a vehicle fire. Police say a car was travelling at “extreme high rates of speed” on the ramp when it left the road and vaulted into a concrete wall and ended up back on the ramp where it burst into flames.
All four occupants had to be extricated from the burning vehicle by fire crews.
The two people sitting in the back of the car were pronounced dead at the scene. The front female passenger was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead.
The exact cause of the crash is still being investigated. Anyone with information is being asked to call police.
