An area man who was on his way home after a hard day’s work is today fighting for his life after being hit by a vehicle at a bus stop in the Horner and Kipling Avenues area.
Police said the man was on his way home from work when he was hit by a vehicle that was involved in a personal injury collision on April 14 around 5:20 a.m.
Traffic Services in a release allege a 21-year-old man was operating a Jeep Cherokee northbound on Kipling Avenue and apparently ran a red light and struck a vehicle travelling westbound on Horner that was making a left turn on Kipling.
Another bad crash, this time fatal, that occurred just blocks away on Horner Avenue.
“As a result of the collision, the Jeep continued off the roadway and struck the male pedestrian,” according to police. A 42-year-old man was ‘rushed to a local trauma centre in life-threatening condition.’
The left-turning driver of a Nissan was also hospitalized with minor injuries.
