Toronto police say they responded to a two-vehicle collision in North York on Wednesday afternoon and discovered that one of the drivers had been shot.
He was rushed to hospital in critical condition, but is now expected to survive.
A second person, the driver of the other vehicle, was also assessed by paramedics for minor injuries.
Officers were first called to the Stanley Greene Boulevard and Downsview Park Boulevard area at around 1:05 p.m. for reports of a multi-vehicle collision.
Photos from the scene show two vehicles with heavy front-end damage.
Investigators say a third vehicle fled the scene. No descriptions are currently available for the vehicle that fled, or its occupants.
The order of events remains unclear, but investigators say so far it doesn’t appear to be a road rage incident.
Details are still emerging.
