According to police, the woman was on the southwest side of the intersection when she was struck by a fuel tanker truck turning south onto Bathurst from Eglinton shortly before 6 a.m.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
In a release Thursday afternoon, police announced that the driver of the truck is now charged with careless driving, failing to stop for a red light, and failing to yield to a pedestrian.
