Standard Time returns to Ontario at 2 a.m. Sunday bringing with it extra peril on darkened streets. As many as 17 pedestrians were hit by cars and other vehicles overnight Thursday/Friday with varying injuries. In one instance a man of 90 was walking on Annabelle Drive in Etobicoke at around 8:45 p.m. when he was struck.
