Man, 26, dead after car driven by mother rear-ends TTC bus in Scarborough

The driver of a car that rear-ended a Toronto Transit Commission bus killing a 26-year-old man in Scarborough on Tuesday, was the victim's mother, police say.

The man was a passenger in the back seat of the red Nissan driven by his 52-year-old mother, according to Toronto Police Traffic Services. A 58-year-old man was also a passenger in the car at the time.

Toronto paramedics said the 26-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. The other two were rushed to hospital; one with serious injuries and another with moderate injuries.

The car was travelling southbound on Warden Avenue near Finch Avenue East before 6:30 a.m., when it collided with the bus.

There were no passengers on the TTC bus at the time, paramedics told CBC News.

Police closed roads in the area for collision reconstruction and the investigation — the roads have since reopened.
