This is a week or so old, but I think, in the interest of safety, it may be worth a read... This happened near Finch and Dufferin; those of you who know the area know that this stretch of Finch is where Charley T's is located, and the intersection cited is right where Hot Tub Girls/Red Rose/'Whatever they're calling it now' is located. There are also a number of MPs close by, if I'm not mistaken.
