A woman aged 47 has sustained life-threatening injuries in an after-dark hit and run accident on Midland Ave. Monday evening. She was crossing Midland east to west near Duxbury Dr., south of Steeles Ave. E. The presumed hit and run motorist fled the scene in a dark-colored SUV. However, Toronto Paramedic Services told CP24 the woman may have been struck by more than one vehicle. One driver did remain at the scene.
Classic 4-lane road folly
The above report from Carl Hantske tells again of the classic folly of getting stuck in the middle of a dark four-lane road where drivers are literally unable to see you because of other traffic. There are no pedestrian crossing opportunities in the estimated 1,200 metres between lights at Passmore Rd. and Steeles Ave. Deeply dangerous.
