TORONTO, Ont. – After a tragic death near the Ontario Science Centre, a family is struggling to cope with the loss of a son.
The eight-year-old boy died Saturday after being hit by a car his father was driving near the parking lot of the Ontario Science Centre.
“We’ve had two pedestrians struck near the science centre, as a result we have an eight-year-old who has passed away from the injuries he receive,” said Sgt. Graeme Philipson with traffic services.
The crash, which happened around 11:30 a.m., also sent the boy’s 36-year-old mother to hospital with serious injuries.
