A male pedestrian believed to be in his 20s has been pronounced dead after he was struck by two vehicles in Etobicoke Saturday night.

The collision occurred on Islington Avenue at Deerfoot Road, near Eglinton Avenue, shortly before 7:30 p.m.

Const. Clint Stibbe told CP24 at the scene that an SUV heading northbound on Islington Avenue struck the pedestrian who was standing in the roadway. The pedestrian, Stibbe said, was thrown into the southbound lanes and was subsequently struck by another vehicle.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Stibbe said it is "far too early" to determine if any charges will be laid and warned pedestrians to be very cautious when crossing a road in an area that is not designated for crossing.

Islington Avenue has been closed from Eglinton Avenue to The Westway as police work to reconstruct the collision. Stibbe said he expects the area to reopen at around 11 p.m.
