Toronto police say an altercation between two men led to a two-vehicle collision in North York on Wednesday afternoon and one of the drivers being shot.
Officers were first called to the Stanley Greene Boulevard and Downsview Park Boulevard area at around 1:05 p.m. for reports of a multi-vehicle collision.
Supt. Paul McIntyre said it’s believed the incident began when two men got into an altercation. They allegedly then got into their vehicles and began to chase each other when one of the drivers got into a collision with an unrelated third vehicle.
It was then discovered one of the drivers had been shot in the leg.
He was rushed to hospital in critical condition, but is now expected to survive.
A second person, the driver of the other vehicle in the crash, was also assessed by paramedics for minor injuries.
Investigators say one of the drivers fled the scene and they are actively looking for the vehicle. No descriptions are currently available for the vehicle that fled, or its occupants.
The two men involved in the initial chase are believed to be known to each other.
