“We got information that a TTC bus was involved in the collision,” Sgt. Brett Moore said.
“We’re working with the TTC to figure out how the bus, it did strike the woman, we know that. We don’t know if it was the first vehicle or other vehicles involved.”

“We do know the woman was crossing the street. She was found by witnesses and when officers got on scene, in the middle of the intersection,” Moore said.
