A woman is dead after being struck by a vehicle near the waterfront on Tuesday.
The driver mounted the curb at Bremner Boulevard and Spadina Avenue just after 2 p.m., striking several food stands on the sidewalk.
The woman was a vendor at one of the stands. She was 38. Her 35-year-old relative, also a vendor, was injured.
Toronto police said Wednesday morning that no charges had been laid, and the investigation is still ongoing.
A Mercedes SUV was travelling on Bremner and the driver was trying to get into the right-hand turning lane to Spadina when the vehicle went straight up the sidewalk.
Police said a 48-year-old woman was driving the vehicle and has been taken to hospital for shock.
Bremner and Navy Wharf Court were closed in both directions.
