Two people are dead after a multi-vehicle crash in Toronto’s west end.

The collision happened around 4:40 p.m. on Tuesday at Spring Road and Parkside Drive.

Police say a dark-coloured BMW was travelling at a high speed southbound on Parkside Drive. It struck a vehicle that was waiting in traffic, causing a chain reaction that led to multiple vehicles crashing into each other.

A 71-year-old man and a 69-year-old woman succumbed to their injuries. Both were believed to be in the same vehicle. Police are unclear how they were related.

A 38-year-old man was rushed to hospital with serious injuries while two others received minor injuries.

Parkside Drive was closed from Lake Shore Boulevard West to High Park for the investigation but has since reopened.
