Police say a 38-year-old man has died after becoming stuck under a car following a two-vehicle collision in Toronto.
Toronto police said the collision occurred just after 3:10 p.m., in the Warden Avenue and Comstock Road area.
Police said the man was standing at the southwest corner of the intersection when two vehicles, a red 2012 Lexus and a silver 2009 Kia, collided.
The Kia lost control and veered off the roadway striking the pedestrian, police said.
According to police, the pedestrian ended up becoming stuck under a car.
Officers said the victim was freed “with assistance from a tow truck driver,” and was taken to a hospital via an emergency run.
Police said he succumbed to his injuries in hospital.
“This is now a fatal traffic investigation,” police said in a tweet.
Investigators are asking local residents, business and drivers, who may have security or dash camera footage and were in the area between 3 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., to contact police at Traffic Services.
