Toronto police say a woman who was on a walker has died after she was struck by a dump truck on Monday.
Police said the collision happened at Davisville Avenue and Mount Pleasant Road at around 10:40 a.m.
Insp. Jeff Bangild told reporters there were reports an elderly woman was on a walker when she was struck by a dump truck making a turn. Police initially said she was on a mobility scooter but later said she was on a walker.
