A woman in Scarborough is fighting for her life after being hit by a vehicle on Monday evening.
According to Toronto police, the incident occurred around 6:30 p.m. at the intersection of Lawrence Avenue East and Scarborough Golf Club Road.
The woman, whose identity has not been released, was crossing the street when she was struck by a vehicle. She suffered life-threatening injuries and was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and is cooperating with authorities. It is unclear at this time if any charges will be laid.
