81-year-old woman struck and killed by dump truck driver in North York
An 81-year-old woman has died after being struck by a dump truck driver in North York on Tuesday, police said.
Officers were called to the scene near Wilson Avenue and Collinson Boulevard around 10:40 a.m. after receiving reports of a pedestrian struck by a dump truck, Toronto police said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
The woman was walking through the crosswalk northbound on Wilson Avenue when she was struck by a dump truck driver turning right, Insp. Brian Maslowski said.
“Citizens in the area immediately attempted first aid but unfortunately she succumbed to her injuries,” he said.
Paramedics said the woman was pronounced dead on scene.
The driver of the dump truck is cooperating with the police, Maslowski said. He said its too early in the investigation to know if police will lay any charges.
Wilson Avenue is closed between Bathurst Street and Laurentia Crescent, police said. The Highway 401 westbound ramp off Wilson Avenue is also closed.
Anyone who was in the area at the time or who may have dashcam or security camera footage of the incident is asked to contact police.
Woman was struck and killed in area last month
In a post on X, Coun. James Pasternak, who represents York Centre, said he is monitoring the collision and is working with city staff “to review the safety of this intersection.”
Two weeks ago, a 70-year-old woman was struck and killed by a driver at Wilson Avenue and Faywood Boulevard — about a 10 minute walk from where Tuesday’s collision happened.
Jaeybee Martinito Daquiado owns Wilson’s Haus of Lechon, a restaurant in the area. She said vehicles in the area often drive fast after they exit Highway 401.
“Sometimes, they don’t even consider the people walking,” she said.
Daquiado said the city should consider lowering the speed limit for vehicles as they exit the highway or add a caution sign.
