Girl, 6, dead after car crashes into tree in Etobicoke

A six-year-old girl died in hospital Saturday night after she suffered critical injuries when a car crashed into a tree in Etobicoke, Toronto police say.

Emergency crews responded to a collision call on Renforth Drive, north of Rathburn Road, just after 9 p.m.

When they arrived at the scene, they located a woman and a child in the vehicle.

Toronto paramedics say the child was without vital signs and was rushed to a pediatric trauma centre, where she was later pronounced dead.

The woman was also transported to a hospital in serious but non-life-threatening condition.
