Two men are fighting for their lives and a third severely injured after a car crashed into a cement barrier and hit a pole early Sunday morning.

Police said the vehicle rolled over and the men had to be extricated by fire and emergency officials around 3 a.m. on Sunday in the Islington Ave. and Dundas St. W. area.

Two of men suffered life-threatening injuries and were rushed to a trauma centre for treatment. A third suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Traffic officers said the vehicle was travelling north on Islington Ave. at what appears to be a high rate of speed, when the driver lost control, hit a cement barrier and then a pole flipping the vehicle to its side.

Dundas St. W. was closed for a period of time in both directions from Montgomery to Riverbank Dr.

The names of the men have not been released.

Police are investigating to determine if alcohol or drugs played a factor in the crash.
