Area woman is fighting for her life after being hit by a pick up truck at the intersection of Kipling and Horner Avenues.
A woman is fighting for her life after being hit by a pick-up truck at Kipling and Horner Avenues in the second life-threatening incident at that intersection in a month.
Police said a 63-year-old woman was walking across a crosswalk at the busy intersection on May 17 around 5 p.m. when she was struck.
Toronto Police Traffic Services in a release said a 48-year-old man was driving a black Dodge Ram truck westbound on Horner Avenue when the incident occurred.
“The driver made a left turn and hit the woman,” police alleged. “The woman was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.”
Police and Paramedics fought hard to keep the woman alive as she is fighting to stay alive.
The driver remained on the scene and charges may be pending as the investigation continues.
On April 14 a man was on his way home from work and waiting at a bus stop at the intersection when he was hit by a vehicle that was involved in a personal injury collision around 5:20 a.m.
Police alleged 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.
“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.’
