A 72-year-old man has died in hospital after being struck by a vehicle over the weekend in the north end of the city.

Just before 1 p.m. on Saturday, police responded to a collision on Eglinton Ave. W. at Castle Knock Rd. and found a pedestrian who had been struck and was not breathing. He was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries, but later died.

Police say a 53-year-old woman was driving a Volvo west down Eglinton Ave. W. when she hit the 72-year-old in the roadway. The pedestrian reportedly went underneath the vehicle, and Toronto police spokesperson Katrina Arrogante said early reports indicated the victim may have been struck more than once.

The woman operating the Volvo remained on the scene after the collision.

Police are asking anyone who may have been in the area at the time of the collision and either witnessed the event or has dash cam footage to come forward and speak to them.
