The investigation is ongoing.

A spokesman for the taxi company could not be immediately reached.

Meanwhile, an 18-year-old girl who was struck by a Volkswagen on Wednesday, as she was headed to her high school graduation, has died in hospital on Friday, police confirm.

She, and another girl of the same age, were attempting to cross the road on Bayview Ave., near McKee Ave., when they were hit by the southbound car, driven by a 42-year-old woman.

The other girl sustained serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

According to media reports, both girls were international students from China.
