Toronto police say a man was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries after being hit by two to three vehicles in Scarborough.

Multiple witnesses told officers that the man was hit by one vehicle, and then struck by a second shortly after in the area of Warden and McNicoll Avenues just after 7 Monday night. Some of the witnesses added that a third vehicle also struck the man, police say.

Only the driver of the first vehicle stayed on scene, police say.

Officers are now looking for a "small, light-coloured vehicle with significant front-end damage," Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook, spokesperson for the Toronto Police Service, said. Police have no description on the possible third vehicle.

Toronto police traffic reconstruction teams had blocked off the area with police tape. Shortly after, a woman drove through the tape and T-boned a police cruiser, Cook said.

Two officers, that were in the police cruiser at the time, were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The woman was arrested and police are looking at impairment as a possible factor in that crash.
