The 19-year-old driver was arrested at the scene for impaired driving, and charges are expected to be laid after the long weekend. He was taken to St. Michaels Hospital with serious injuries, but he is expected to recover, Sgt. Woodford said.

The 49-year-old male driver of the Caravan and his 16-year-old daughter were pronounced dead at the scene. The mother, a 50-year-old woman, was taken to Sunnybrook hospital with life-threatening injuries and remains in critical condition, Sgt. Woodford said.

The names of the deceased will not be released until next of kin have been notified.

The OPP is asking anyone with information about the crash to call 416-235-4981.
