Jeep SUV sits in eastbound lanes of Eglinton east of Hanna Rd.

A 63-year-old woman was killed on Eglinton Ave. East at Hanna Road Thursday evening when she was struck by a car. The accident scene was a short distance east of Hanna Road where a black car facing eastbound was later stopped in the eastbound lane as police did reconstruction. Traffic was being diverted along Sutherland, Parklea and Hanna with Eglinton being re-opened overnight.  There was no LRT construction restriction at that point. Police said Thursday was one of the most dangerous mornings in months for pedestrians. Ten people were hit by drivers before noon. Seven were hit in one hour alone.

Painting the town orange? When Halloween goes wrong

Reporting from South Bayview’s Starbucks yesterday, Angela Lam, of Stainton Murray & Lam at 1552 Bayview Avenue thought our readers would be interested to know why it appears that someone has painted the town… um, orange.  Literally.  A can of neon orange spray paint had been dropped on Bayview Avenue and when it got run over, it exploded neon spray paint all over the parked cars in front of Starbucks. A black Ford Explorer SUV got the brunt of it, and was decorated appropriately for Halloween. Angela did not get to see the reaction when they returned to their Jackson Pollack inspired new paint job, but we reckon they were not pleased.
