Several pedestrians were struck in a crash involving multiple vehicles at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport Thursday morning, which police say may have been caused by a medical episode.

Emergency crews were called to Terminal 3 just before 7 a.m. for a collision involving six vehicles. Police said five pedestrians were struck during the crash, and all sustained minor injuries.

Three individuals were transported to hospital. All drivers involved remained on the scene, police said.
