A man is dead after being struck by a vehicle in the west end early Sunday morning.
Toronto police say a man was crossing the street in the Old Park Road and Eglinton Avenue West area, near Allen Road, just before 1:30 a.m. when the crash occurred.
First responders attempted life-saving measures, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene. There was no immediate word on his age.
Investigators say the 23-year-old driver of the vehicle remained at the scene.
Investigators are asking for anyone who may have been in the area at the time of the crash and may have dashcam or video footage to contact them.
The crash occurred in an area that has been the subject of complaints from local residents about recent design changes made to the nearby Allen Road-Eglinton intersection that have drastically changed traffic flow in the area.
