A adult female is deadened after face of the earth struck by 2 vehicles in midtown Toronto midweek morning.
She was around 80 years old and was crossing the street on Eglinton Avenue E. Near Dunfield Avenue after buying groceries, Scott Bradbury, deputy inspector with Toronto Police Service (TPS), said at a news conference Wednesday morning.
She was hit twice by different vehicles on Eglinton Avenue E. Just before 7:20 a.m., Bradbury said. He said one of the vehicles came from opposite directions with one heading east and the other west.
"Neither of these vehicles stayed on scene," Bradbury told reporters. The woman died despite life-saving efforts by paramedics.
"We're looking for a light or white-coloured Hyundai SUV style vehicle as the first vehicle that may have been involved, and we don't yet have information on the second vehicle," Bradbury said.
The SUV was last seen driving west on Eglinton Avenue, police said on social media, and the other was last seen heading east on the same street.
The incident is under investigation and Eglinton Avenue E. Is closed to traffic and pedestrians between Yonge Street and Lillian Street, according to TPS.
Police are asking anyone with information or footage of the incident to contact them.
Romahlio Williams, who has lived in the area for about three years, said the hit and run was "heartbreaking to hear [about]."
He said speeding isn't an issue in the neighbourhood and that it's common for people to cross the street in front of the grocery store when the road is clear, rather than walking to a crosswalk.
Diego Maytorena, another community member, said he was shocked to hear neither driver stopped at the scene.
"You can't just flee the scene, you have to at least call 911," he said.
Bradbury called the New Year's Eve collision a "tragic end to 2025."
"If you're responsible for this collision, please do the right thing. Speak to a legal professional, a lawyer, and contact police to turn yourself in," Bradbury said.
