An 80-year-old woman remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries after she was struck by a vehicle in the St. Lawrence Market area on Tuesday morning.

Toronto police said they received a call for a pedestrian who was struck near Lower Sherbourne Street and The Esplanade at 7:15 a.m.

The woman was walking her dog, said Sgt. Brett Moore, spokesperson for the Toronto Police Service's Traffic Services. Her dog went missing after the collision but has since been found safe.
