A senior is in hospital after he was struck by a streetcar while driving a mobility scooter in Parkdale on Sunday morning, Toronto Fire Services said.

The man was hit around 11 a.m. by the 501 streetcar on Queen Street West near the Dunn Avenue intersection. He was taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries, paramedics said. Queen West remains closed between Dunn and Lansdowne Avenues as police investigate.

So far this weekend three pedestrians have been left with serious injuries following collisions in the city.

On Saturday night a woman was sent to hospital after being struck by a driver in North York.

The woman was hit just before 8 p.m. near Victory Drive and Keele Street, just north of Wilson Avenue, according to a tweet put out by Toronto police.

The woman was unresponsive by the time first responders arrived, police said. Paramedics said she was taken to hospital in serious condition.

Also on Sunday, a man in his 20s was hit by a driver later in the day, at around 2 p.m. near the corner of Finch Ave. and Jayzel Dr., in the Finch Ave. W.-Weston Rd. area. He was sent to a trauma centre in serious condition, paramedics said.

TTC spokesperson Stuart Green referred questions about the streetcar collision to the police, saying the force’s investigation would determine what happened.

He said he didn’t immediately know the status of the streetcar driver but TTC policy dictates operators involved in collisions are interviewed by the transit agency about the incident.

This isn’t the first serious collision involving a TTC vehicle this year. In March a female pedestrian was struck and killed by a TTC bus driver on Bloor St. East near Sherbourne St.

“We have a lot of vehicles on the road, whether it’s buses and streetcars, at any given time of day, so we from time to time get involved in these unfortunate incidents,” said Green.
