Police said the 56-year-old man was dealing with a matter at the collision reporting centre when he was struck by a grey Mazda. A police officer attempted life-saving measures but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 27-year-old driver remained at the scene.
At around the same time, police responded to a call near McNicoll Avenue and McCowan Road where a 79-year-old woman suffered serious head injuries after being struck by a vehicle.
According to police, a black Dodge Caravan was heading westbound on McNicoll when it struck the woman, who was crossing the intersection. Police said the vehicle had the right of way at the time of the collision. The driver remained at the scene.
Police say around 9 p.m., another woman suffered life-threatening injuries after being struck on Ellesmere Road just east of Scarborough Golf Club Road.
All of the vehicles involved remained at the scene.
In each cast, police are asking anyone with security video or dashcam footage of the area, or the incident, to contact investigators.
