One pedestrian is dead and another is injured after two cars collided in the city’s west end on Monday night, Toronto police say.
The collision happened in the area of Annette Street and Pacific Avenue, near Dundas Street W. and Keele Street, shortly after 8 p.m.
Duty Insp. Scott Shutt, spokesperson for the Toronto police, said the force of the collision sent a car crashing into two pedestrians, a woman and a man, on the sidewalk. He said speed could be a factor in the collision.
The woman died at the scene. The man suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital.
One of the cars ended up more than 30 metres away from the middle of the intersection where the collision occurred, Shutt said.
“It’s a horrible situation,” he told reporters near the scene on Monday night. “It’s a tragic incident and it could happen to anybody.”
Shutt said several bystanders rushed over to help the two pedestrians.
The drivers of both vehicles remained at the scene, were not injured and are co-operating with police, he added.
Roads in the area were closed as officers investigate.
