Two pedestrians have been hurt after being struck by a vehicle in Scarborough late Friday afternoon, police say.

Emergency crews were called to the area of Eglinton Avenue East and Danforth Road shortly before 4 p.m., Const. David Hopkinson, a spokesperson for Toronto police, told CBC Toronto.

Those injuries have since been downgraded.
