Two male pedestrians have been taken to hospital after a collision in Scarborough, Toronto police say.

Paramedics responded to a call for a collision in the area of Eglinton Ave. E. and Danforth Rd. around 4 p.m. Friday.

Two men in their 20s were hit by a vehicle and taken to a trauma centre, Toronto police Const. David Hopkinson said. One of the male victims was unconscious at the scene, police said in a tweet.

He was initially taken to hospital in life-threatening condition. Police later said his injuries are no longer considered life threatening.

Paramedics say a third victim, a woman, was taken to a local hospital for minor injuries.

Hopkinson said the woman was inside a vehicle at the time of the collision.

Police say roads in the area have been closed for the police investigation.

Toronto appears to have set a one-year high for pedestrian and cyclist fatalities in 2018.

More than 40 per cent of those deaths happened in Scarborough.
