Paramedics said two people were sent to hospital, one with minor injuries and the other with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said the crash took place shortly before 2 p.m. on the campus’s Nelson Mandela Walk, a treelined pedestrian walkway beside the university library connecting Gould Street and Gerrard Street.
They said the vehicle involved may have been a dark green sedan with a cracked windshield, last seen travelling eastbound on Gould Street toward Church Street.
A safety alert posted by the university advised people to avoid the area.
“There is an active police investigation involving a motor vehicle accident on Nelson Mandela Walk,” the notice said.
The area was cordoned off with yellow police tape Tuesday afternoon, with several police officers on the scene.
The university’s alert says there was no impact to classes or exams and that employees should continue to work as usual.
