by · CityNews

Police arrested a driver who fled the scene after crashing into a home in midtown Toronto.

Officers were called to the Oakwood Village neighbourhood near Winona Drive and Holland Park Avenue just before 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday after receiving reports that a car had crashed into a residential home.

Police say three people who were in the vehicle attempted to flee but were arrested at the scene. They were released from custody.

A fourth suspect, the driver, fled on foot but was later detained by responding officers. That individual is expected to face charges.

No serious injuries were reported.

It appears speed played a factor in the crash, with the driver losing control of the vehicle. Police confirmed with 680News Radio that the car was not reported stolen.

Investigators are encouraging anyone with information to contact authorities.
