Two hundred kilometres an hour -- on a city street!!!

Two hundred kilometres an hour! On Finch Avenue?

Yes, I know -- judge not when you don't really know but this sounds pretty unredeemable.

And the irony -- the driver of the BMW seems to have suffered minor injuries only.

Alcohol, speed blamed in crash that killed 3 women

Three women riding home from a religious gathering late Saturday were killed when their van was broadsided by an alleged drunk driver who was speeding at about 200 kilometres per hour in a BMW.

The impact was so violent that the van was torn apart and the women were thrown from the vehicle. CTV Toronto's Jim Junkin reported Sunday that the deceased are a mother, her daughter and a family friend.

The family's father, who was driving the van, and another friend are now in Sunnybrook Medical Centre with life-threatening injuries.

"You can tell by the damage that was done here that speed was a factor that we're looking at, (and) alcohol was a factor that we're looking at," said Toronto Police Sgt. Tim Burrows.

"This was an extremely high-speed impact that caused this."

Police allege that the 21-year-old driver of the BMW had been drinking before the crash, and he now faces several criminal charges.

Investigators say the Honda van had been turning north from Finch Avenue onto Tobermory Drive near Jane Street when the crash occurred at around 11:45 p.m. Junkin reported that the family lived nearby and was nearly home.
