TORONTO, ON – Two juveniles, ages 12 and 13, were injured Monday night in Toronto’s North York district due to a crash involving an all-terrain vehicle and a police vehicle, reports CityNews Everywhere.

Officers with Toronto Police Service were called to the scene at Jane Street and Giltspur Drive, in the area of Sheppard Avenue West.

According to the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), a 13-year-old was operating the ATV when it was involved in a collision with a police cruiser shortly after 10:00 p.m.
