The incident occurred just before 2 a.m. on Queen Street East at Power Street, east of Parliament Street, outside a homeless shelter.
The vehicle was heading east when it veered off the road and onto the sidewalk, and struck the two pedestrians who were standing on the sidewalk outside the shelter. The second man received minor injuries
It appears the victim was staying at the homeless shelter and had just stepped outside to have a cigarette.
Toronto police have not yet released the victim’s name and are trying to locate next of kin.
