A pedestrian is dead after he was struck by a car following a two-car crash in the Downsview area on Friday afternoon.

The crash happened at around 3 p.m., near Jane St. and Beverly Hills Dr., one block south of Wilson Ave.

It’s unclear exactly what happened, but paramedics said the initial call to 911 said the two cars crashed and hit a bus shelter.

The pedestrian, identified as only as male, was rushed to a trauma centre without vital signs. Another man, in his 60s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Jane St. was closed between Beverly Hills Dr. and Wilson Ave. for an investigation, but have since re-opened.

It isn’t clear if charges will be laid.

Police said the man’s death marks the 19th traffic-related fatality this year.
