Case Studies
A collision was reported at the intersection of Lawrence Avenue and Bathurst Street in Toronto, Ontario on September 15, 2018, at approximately 9:00 PM. According to the MVA report, a Honda was travelling eastbound on Lawrence Avenue and proceeded through a left turn to travel northbound on Bathurst Street when it was struck by a Lincoln, which had been travelling westbound on Lawrence Avenue in lane one. The Honda was also struck by a Mercedes-Benz, which had been travelling westbound on Lawrence Avenue in lane two. After the impact with the Honda, the Lincoln struck an Acura, which had been stopped and facing eastbound on Lawrence Avenue in the left turn lane behind a stopped Toyota. The Lincoln continued travelling westbound after the impacts, crossing the eastbound lanes of traffic on Lawrence Avenue, mounted the south curb, and came to rest after destroying a TTC bus shelter at the south sidewalk of Lawrence Avenue. The Honda was propelled some distance westbound along Lawrence Avenue after the impact, as was the Acura. The Toyota was damaged by flying debris from the impacts of the Honda, the Mercedes-Benz, and the Lincoln.
