Toronto Fire says “numerous” casualties have been reported after a vehicle ran into people on Monday afternoon.

Stephan Powell, district chief at Toronto Fire, is urging people to stay away from the area near the North York Civic Centre as first responders are working at the scene.

Toronto Paramedic Services would not confirm any casualties, but said they are treating patients at the scene. A spokeswoman for the service says “all resources” are being used and the public is being asked to stay away from the area.

Toronto police say numerous pedestrians have been struck by a white van near Yonge Street and Finch Avenue West before 1:30 p.m. ET. It’s possible that eight to 10 pedestrians were struck, the force said on their official Twitter account, adding it is too early to confirm the exact number.

CityNews Toronto reporter Amanda Ferguson said police confirmed “a van had mounted the curb and hit a number of pedestrians” before the driver fled the scene. The vehicle was located and the driver is in custody, Ferguson tweeted. CBC News has also reported that a driver is in custody.

The real tragedy here is that nobody has capitalized on Advertising on these terrorist trucks. Ryder is getting a bunch of free advertising. total missed opportunity. That's the tragedy.

The driver was probably sissy slapfighting on his iPhone while speeding down the road to pick his 4 y/o up from daycare with his 1 y/o in the backseat.

 

Lot of focking losers out there.

Or, he could have been pretending to coach his kids little league team when actually he was watching his t-ball game and got upset because he cant figure out how to make 100k a year and he's in his 40's and started to cry and mascara got in his eyes.

[SenatorRock 708]

The lack of news on this is a good indicator he was a driver of peace.

[Voltaire 4,554]

I hoping he forfeits his security deposit and gets a stern lecture before they a give him his driver's licence back.

[Djgb13 2,338]

Theres a bill being proposed that makes it legal to hit protestors if they are blocking the road. Im sure Im wording it wrong but read the article and youll get what Im saying
