A routine RIDE check in Brampton turned into a police pursuit that ended in a crash which left three people with injuries early Friday morning.

Police pursued the SUV, which had been stolen, until it crashed through a chain-link fence on a dead-end street. The occupants of the vehicle were found where they collided, at Kipling Ave. and Steeles Ave. W.

Toronto paramedics said they transported two people in serious condition to hospital at around 2:30 a.m. A police officer sustained minor injuries.

The Toronto Transit Commission is diverting buses past Kipling and Steeles while the Special Investigations Unit investigates the scene.

The SIU investigates any report involving police officers involved in serious injuries, death or allegations of sexual assault.
