A man and woman in their 60s are dead after being struck by a driver in a vehicle in Scarborough Friday afternoon, Toronto paramedics say.
Officers responded to a collision at Birchmount Road and Lawrence Avenue E. at around 1:50 p.m, where they found two pedestrians struck by a vehicle, Toronto police spokesperson Insp. Errol Watson told reporters at the scene Friday.
The vehicle hit two pedestrians and also crashed into a pole, knocking it down, according to police.
Watson said a second vehicle was involved in the collision but did not specify how. A female driver remained on scene and was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, he said.
According to paramedics, three people — two women in their 60s and a six-year-old — were in the vehicle that struck the pedestrians. They were taken to hospital as a precaution with non-life threatening injuries.
Watson said the intersection will be closed off “for quite a long time” as officers investigate. Any witnesses are being asked to contact police.
