Police are investigating after a vehicle crashed into a townhouse complex in North York on Jan. 5, 2024.
Toronto Fire Services say the vehicle struck a gas main which caused a natural gas leak. At this time, the complex has been evacuated and the gas has been shut off to all units.
It’s unclear what caused the vehicle to drive into the home at this point.
Speaking to reporters at the scene, Toronto Fire District Chief Peter Rappos said structural engineers are en route to assess the damage before crews can remove the vehicle.
Also of concern, Rappos said, is any damage to the Tesla’s battery pack.
