“We have gathered some evidence so far that suggests speed was a factor,” Toronto Police Duty Inspector Philip Sinclair was quoted as saying by the Toronto Sun newspaper.
At least four Indian nationals were killed and one injured after the car they were traveling in crashed and caught fire in the Canadian province of Ontario. The crash happened Thursday last week in the area of Lake Shore Boulevard East and Cherry Street in downtown Toronto, police said in a press release. The press release said five people between the ages of 25-32 were traveling in the Tesla when it lost control and collided with a guard rail and then a concrete pillar before bursting into flames.
“We have gathered some evidence so far that suggests speed was a factor,” Toronto Police Duty Inspector Philip Sinclair was quoted as saying by the Toronto Sun newspaper. According to several Indian media, all the deceased were from Gujarat. According to a Times of India report, the deceased include Ketaba Gohil (29) and his brother Neelraj Gohil (25), residents of Godhra, and Jairajsingh Sisodia, resident of Borsad in Anand district.
Police officers responding to the crash declared the four occupants of the car dead at the scene, the press release said. The fifth occupant, a 25-year-old woman, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. According to reports, he was rescued by a passing motorist who stopped to help. “Heartfelt condolences on the tragic loss of Indian nationals in the car accident that took place in Toronto yesterday,” the official handle of the Indian Consulate in Toronto said in a post on Twitter.
