Your long weekend is about to get wild, fam
Okay but real talk—you know how the August long weekend is basically peak Toronto summer, right? Everyone's either cottage-bound or hitting up Caribbean Carnival, which, side note, is going to be absolutely *lit* this year, you already know. But while everyone's figuring out their plans, there's a wild story bubbling up right here in the city that you gotta hear about, especially if you're ever near Tommy Thompson Park or, like, commute down Leslie Street.
So, picture this: Wednesday night, right before 7:45 PM, a commercial van and an e-scooter get into a collision near Tommy Thompson Park. You know that spot, the Leslie Street Spit, where everyone goes to escape the concrete jungle for a bit? Yeah, *that* spot. A man on the e-scooter was killed. It's just devastating, dude. We're talking Leslie Street and Unwin Avenue, a busy industrial area but also a gateway to one of our best green spaces. It's a tragedy, pure and simple, and it makes you think about how we share our roads.
* **The Details:** The collision happened just before 7:45 PM on Wednesday. * **The Location:** Leslie Street and Unwin Avenue, near Tommy Thompson Park. * **The Outcome:** A man on an e-scooter died at the scene.
Real talk, this is Toronto — stay up. It's a reminder that even when we're gearing up for a long weekend of celebration and chill, the city keeps moving, and sometimes, tragically, it reminds us to be safe and aware, especially with so many different ways people are getting around these days. My cousins and the whole crew are talking about this on the morning show, you should catch them live at mornings.live.
