A woman has been struck and killed by a car in the city’s west-end, Tuesday. The accident happened after she managed to push the stroller containing her baby out of the way of the oncoming vehicle.
The accident happened around 12:45 p.m. in the Martin Grove Road and Eglinton Avenue area.
Toronto police Const. Hugh Smith told 680News the woman was trying to cross the street with her child at the time.
“It appears to be a mother pushing her child in a stroller [while] crossing the street, came in collision with a vehicle, she pushed the child out of the way […] and she was stuck underneath the vehicle,” Const. Smith said.
The child was rushed to the Hospital for Sick Children to be examined by doctors, but appears to be uninjured.
Two other people are distraught, but not in need of medical attention.
