One person died this morning after a fiery crash in Toronto’s east end.

City Police say officers were called to the scene when a black BMW collided with a poll around 12:25 a.m. 

They say the vehicle slammed into a hydro pole after running two red lights and clipping another vehicle on Eglinton Avenue.
