Facts are fragmentary in the accident that gravely injured a 33-year-old woman pedestrian at Eglinton Ave E. at Swift Drive (Credit Union Drive on the south side). What is clear is the width of Eglinton Ave. E at the east side where pedestrians are expected to cross. Pictures show it to be eight lanes (with turning lanes). The job of getting across the road in time plus watching for turning vehicles seems to make it especially perilous. And it was at night. The accident occurred about 11 p.m. Thursday. The driver of the SUV is 67. Police are asking for witnesses.
