A woman using a walker died after she was hit by a vehicle in Toronto’s east end Wednesday evening.

The 86-year-old woman was hit just south of Broadview Ave. and Mortimer Ave. at about 7:50 p.m., Toronto police Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook said.

Police said the woman had been trying to cross Broadview. Paramedics said the woman was rushed to a trauma centre in critical condition before she died.

The driver, a 56-year-old man in a 1998 Chevrolet pick-up truck, co-operated with investigators, police said.
