A 38-year-old man found with suspected gunshot wounds inside a vehicle that crashed in Etobicoke earlier this week has died.
Toronto Police responded to “a personal injury collision” on Longfield Rd. — a residential neighbourhood near Kipling Ave. and Eglinton Ave. W. — shortly before noon Monday after a vehicle veered off the street, jumped a curb and collided with the corner of a house.
But when emergency crews arrived, they found the occupant of the vehicle suffering from injuries that did not appear to be from the crash.
