.gone too soon.

Proof that life is short and sometimes we take life for granted by testing our fate.

Gone, but not forgotten.

Pair killed in fiery crash
CAR HITS POLE IN SCARBOROUGH
By BRIAN GRAY, TORONTO SUN

TWO MEN are dead after their car slammed into a light pole and erupted in flames in Scarborough early yesterday, Toronto Police say. The car collided with a concrete light standard, rolled onto its left side and burst into flames, police said. The light pole then collapsed on top of the vehicle, trapping the men, both 25, inside.

Police said their car was moving at high speeds north on Morningside Ave. at Morningview Tr., just south of Old Finch Ave., around 3:40 a.m.

The driver lost control, went over the east-side curb, skidded sideways and collided with the concrete light standard.

Morningside Ave. curves to the left at the site of the crash. A sheared-off light standard and its charred stump were the only remnants of the collision left at the scene by midday yesterday.

No names have been released while Toronto Police traffic services investigators identify the bodies and notify the next of kin.
