Three injured young children under the age of five have lost their mom after a car plowed into the family as they were crossing an Etobicoke crosswalk almost two months ago.
An Etobicoke family is mourning the loss of a wife and mother who died in hospital after a car driven by a senior plowed into her, her husband and three young children on Islington Avenue.
The family includes the mom, 39, husband, 45, and girls 4-years-old and one-year old and one-month-old boy.
They were hit on October 2 while crossing Islington Avenue, at Orrell Avenue, just north of Dundas St. W. The woman died in hospital on November 21, police said.
The family has not been identified due to the young children.
Toronto Police in a release said the tragic crash occurred as a result of a 77-year-old woman who was driving a Toyota west on Finchley Road approaching Islington Avenue.
At the same time a family of five were crossing Islington Avenue as a vehicle made a left turn from Finchley and struck them while at a crosswalk.
The driver remained at the scene.
There has been no report of any charges being laid.
Police are asking local residents, business owners, and drivers who may have security or dash camera footage of the area or incident, to contact investigators.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-1900, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), or at www.222tips.com.
