Three men are in hospital in serious condition after two separate traffic accidents early Saturday.
Two of the victims, believed to be in their 20s, were injured in a crash near Morningside and Sheppard around 3am. Their car collided with a garbage truck and the driver of the larger vehicle wasn’t injured.
A commercial inspection unit was brought to the scene to check out the truck and investigators still aren’t sure what caused the accident.

The pedestrian, also in his 20s, was walking along Danforth west of Coxwell when he was hit. He was rushed to hospital in serious condition and his name hasn’t been released.
There’s no word on possible charges.
