A pedestrian has died and another is injured following a two-vehicle collision in Toronto's west end, paramedics say.
It happened shortly after 8:05 p.m., in the area of Annette Street and Pacific Avenue, south of Dundas Street West, in the city's Junction neighbourhood.
Police said two vehicles were involved, and while the cause of the collision remains under investigation, speed could be a contributing factor.
Paramedics told CP24 that a woman was pronounced dead on the scene while a man had been taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Police did not confirm their exact ages but said the pedestrians were adults.
Speaking to reporters on Monday evening, Toronto police Duty Insp. Scott Shutt said bystanders and emergency personnel performed CPR.
"There (were) several (bystanders), and they did a great job in trying to help perform lifesaving measures," Shutt said. "Unfortunately, the female succumbed to her injuries, but they did everything they could, and it was an immediate response."
