Toronto police say a 47-year-old woman has been charged in connection with the death of pedestrian who was hit by a vehicle in Scarborough last month.
Police said they responded to a call around 6:49 a.m. on Nov. 9 in the area of Birchmount and Ellesmere roads.
Authorities said a Nissan Pathfinder jumped a curb and struck one pedestrian before hitting another pedestrian standing near a bus stop. The vehicle eventually stopped at a parking lot, according to police.
Police said two TTC buses were stopped on Ellesmere just west of Birchmount when the vehicle, which was travelling westbound, veered onto the sidewalk.
