Toronto police say an 82-year-old woman who was seriously injured when a TTC bus driver had to brake suddenly has died.
The incident happened on an eastbound bus on Steeles Avenue East, west of Kennedy Road, around 9:30 a.m. on May 29.
Police say the bus driver hit the brakes suddenly when a pickup truck changed lanes.
They say a passenger fell and was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The woman, who has not been identified, died in hospital on Thursday.
Investigators are looking for the pickup truck and its driver, who is male. The vehicle was a white Ford SuperCab with construction-type equipment in the box or cargo area.
They also want to speak with the 30 to 35 passengers on the 53 Steeles East bus at the time or who may have video of the incident.
