Toronto police say a male pedestrian has died following a hit-and-run collision involving a dump truck near Marlee and Lawrence avenues in North York.
A Toronto paramedics spokesperson said a male in his 40s was transported to a trauma centre in life-threatening condition just after 1 p.m. on Wednesday. Police said he later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Police said they have since located the dump truck and the male driver. Investigators have yet to determine if the driver was aware the pedestrian was hit.
Traffic services said a drone flew over the crash site allowing an expansive survey of the area, enabling them to reopen the eastbound lanes on Lawrence Avenue West at Allen Road.
Officers said the victim has been identified, but police have yet to notify next of kin.
