Paramedics say a six-year-old child and two women in their 60s were in the vehicle.

First responders say their injuries are minor, but the vehicle is so damaged that they were taken to a hospital as a precaution.

Police say roads are blocked near Birchmount Road and Lawrence Avenue East and are asking drivers to take other routes.
