A man and a woman are dead after being involved in a horrific two-car crash in Etobicoke on Tuesday.

It happened around 4:12 p.m. at Carlingview Drive and Constellation Court in the Dixon Road and Highway 427 area, according to police.

A debris-scattered crash scene police photo shows a black minivan leaning against a broken light pole and a totaled red vehicle propped up against a nearby building.

Police believe excessive speed was likely a factor.

According to Toronto police’s Operations Centre, one of the vehicles hit a pole and flipped over, while the other vehicle went into a building.

One of the victims died at the scene, while the second person died after being rushed to hospital.

Police said road closures in the immediate area will likely last several hours.

Emergency responders rushed to the scene and located two people with “very serious injuries.” They worked to extricate them from the vehicle.

A woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

A second person, who was rushed to hospital by emergency run, died a short time later.

The crash may have also caused a gas leak and some buildings are being evacuated, police said.

Roads near the collision have been off-limits.

Toronto police’s Traffic Services unit is investigating.
