4 officers injured after two separate vehicles collide into two cruisers

Four Toronto police officers suffered minor injuries after two separate vehicles collided with two cruisers in North York overnight.

The first collision happened on Finch Avenue west of Sentinel Road just before 1 a.m. Police confirm that the driver of the vehicle was arrested and charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle.

They say investigators were blocking off the area with their vehicles when one of the cruisers was hit by a second driver.

Two officers were sent to the hospital with minor injuries, while a civilian was rushed to a trauma centre in critical condition, paramedics say. The extent of their injuries is not known.

Finch has since re-opened.

This police cruiser was t-boned on Finch Avenue West at Tobermory Drive, near the spot where police were investigating an earlier crash in which a police cruiser was rear-ended.

Constable Clint Stibbe tells AM640 there were a total of 5 crashes overnight where the drivers were charged with impaired driving.
