At least seven people are injured after a vehicle collided with a TTC bus near the Kipling and Eglinton Ave. intersection in Etobicoke.

Seven people are in hospital after a collision involving a TTC bus and two cars in Etobicoke Friday afternoon.

Emergency crews responded to the intersection of Kipling Avenue and Eglinton Avenue West just before 3:30 p.m. for the multi-vehicle crash.

Images from the scene show the front of the TTC bus badly damaged with half of its windshield shattered as a result of the collision. Meanwhile, the two cars that also sustained damage ended up on the sidewalk.

Toronto paramedics told CTV News Toronto that seven of the injured had to be taken to hospitals, including one who suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries. They said the other six sustained minor injuries.
