Toronto police say a man has died after he was hit by a vehicle in Etobicoke early Friday.

The pedestrian-involved collision happened on The West Mall and Burnhamthorpe Road just after 4 a.m.

Police said a 25-year-old man was walking across Burnhamthorpe Road. At the same time, a gray Honda was driving eastbound along the road in the curb lane, according to police.

The vehicle — driven by a 41-year-old man — hit the pedestrian, police said.

Paramedics told Global News they transported a man in his 30s to hospital in critical condition.

He later died from his injuries, police said.

The driver did remain at the scene.

Some road closures are in effect and motorists are advised to take alternate routes.
