An elderly woman is dead after being struck by two vehicles in a hit-and-run collision in midtown Toronto Wednesday morning, police say.
Toronto police said the woman, believed to be about 80 years old, was crossing Eglinton Avenue East near Dunfield Avenue shortly before 7:20 a.m. after buying groceries when she was hit by two vehicles travelling in opposite directions.
“She was struck by two vehicles, one travelling eastbound and one travelling westbound,” Duty Insp. Scott Bradbury of the Toronto Police Service told reporters at a morning news conference.
Neither vehicle remained at the scene, Bradbury said.
The woman was pronounced dead despite life-saving efforts by paramedics.
“We’re looking for a light or white-coloured Hyundai SUV-style vehicle as the first vehicle that may have been involved, and we don’t yet have information on the second vehicle,” Bradbury said.
Police said the Hyundai SUV was last seen travelling westbound on Eglinton Avenue East, while the second vehicle was last seen heading eastbound.
Investigators believe the woman was crossing from south to north at the time of the collision.
