A 15-year-old boy suffered life-threatening injuries after being struck by a vehicle in northwest Toronto.
Toronto police say the teen was crossing Humber Boulevard in the crosswalk at Louvain Street just after 2:35 p.m. in York at the intersection of Humber Boulevard and Louvain Street when he was struck by a black Toyota Corolla Cross driven by a 71-year-old man.
CityNews has confirmed the teen was a student at nearby Saint Oscar Romero Catholic Secondary School.
Police say the driver remained at the scene, but there’s no word on possible charges at this point.
One area resident tells CityNews that the intersection where the boy was struck has been problematic.
“This intersection, and many others in the neighbourhood, are extremely dangerous,” she said. “I actually have submitted, multiple times, a request for an assessment of the paths that the children around here, and the teens, have to walk to school because I had these concerns, and every time they’ve been closed and nothing has been done about it.”
