A woman using a walker has died after being struck by a vehicle in East York on Wednesday evening.
Toronto police had initially received reports that a woman in a wheelchair suffered serious injuries after a vehicle collision at Broadview and Mortimer avenues around 8 p.m.
Emergency crews arrived on scene to find the woman without vital signs. She was transported by paramedics to a trauma centre in critical condition by an emergency run.
It was later determined the woman was using a walker instead of a wheelchair to cross the road.
Toronto police confirmed about an hour later that she had died in hospital.
