An elderly man is fighting for his life in hospital after he was struck by a vehicle while crossing the street in Toronto’s Midtown area on Saturday afternoon.
Emergency crews were called to 428 Eglinton Avenue West, near Castle Knock Road, at 12:59 p.m.
Police said they arrived to find an unconscious male who was not breathing. Initial reports suggested the male was pinned beneath a vehicle.
Paramedics said they rushed him to a hospital trauma centre for treatment.
Viewers told CP24 a stretch of Eglinton Avenue West was closed in both directions for a time to allow for cleanup and an investigation.
