A 74-year-old woman died after being struck by a Canada Post delivery truck near Eglinton Avenue East and Birchmount Road.
Paramedics rushed her to hospital, where she died of her injuries.
Toronto police say they received the call around 6:15 p.m. for reports of a person pinned under a truck.
According to a news release, police said she was attempting to cross Eglinton Avenue East, west of Rosemount Drive, when she was struck by a westbound van that was driven by a 45-year-old man.
Officers closed Eglinton Avenue East to traffic in both directions from Birchmount Road to Ionview Road but the road has since re-opened.
