Police have charged a motorist with impaired driving after two 19-year-old pedestrians were killed Sunday evening in Scarborough.

Police responded to a call about a collision in the area of Markham Road and Progress Avenue around 6:40 p.m., Const. David Hopkinson said.

When police arrived, two people were lying in the roadway and were transported to hospital with serious injuries. They later died.

One person has been arrested for driving with a blood-alcohol level of over 80 milligrams, Hopkinson said.

At the scene, Duty Insp. Stacey Davis told reporters that a third pedestrian was taken to hospital in serious but not life-threatening condition.

Initial police reports had said two passengers were thrown from a car as a result of the crash, but Davis said there was only one person in the vehicle and that the driver was being treated in hospital.

According to police, two brothers and one of their friends were on a walk to get food when they were hit by the vehicle.
