A 14-year-old girl has critical injuries after being hit by a truck in Etobicoke on Thursday morning, Toronto Police say.
Emergency crews were called to Queens Plate Drive and Rexdale Boulevard at 7:44 a.m. for reports of a pedestrian collision.
Police said a transport truck with a flatbed trailer was going eastbound on Rexdale Boulevard approaching a green traffic signal at Queens Plate Drive.
A TTC bus was stopped in the curb lane at the intersection when the teen got off the bus and went into to the intersection in front of the bus, police said.
The 14-year-old girl was then struck by the truck.
Paramedics told Global News they took a girl with “very serious injuries” to a trauma centre.
In a later update, investigators said the girl’s injuries were life-threatening.
The driver of the truck remained at the scene, police said.
Investigators have closed off the area and police are advising motorists to expect delays.
