Toronto police said it happened in the Kipling Avenue and Ronson Drive area, which is around Highway 401. Emergency crews responded at 6:20 a.m. on Tuesday.

In an update, police said a driver operating a grey 2006 Kia was travelling southbound on Kipling Avenue and approaching Ronson Drive when they struck a male pedestrian crossing the south crosswalk.

The pedestrian was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. On Thursday morning, the pedestrian succumbed to his injuries.

The victim is a man in his 30s, paramedics said.
