Driver in custody after multiple pedestrians reportedly struck by van: police
Multiple pedestrians have reportedly been struck by a van in North York this afternoon, Toronto police say.
The incident occurred in the area of Yonge Street and Finch Avenue shortly before 1:30 p.m.
Police initially said there were reports of eight to 10 pedestrians struck in the area by a white van and one person has been taken into custody in connection with the incident.
One witness Jamie Eopni told CP24 that he was inside a Tim Hortons in the area when he saw a white moving van turn around the corner on Yonge Street.
He said the vehicle was “completely demolished.”
“It was crashing into everything. It destroyed a bench. If anybody was on that street they would have been hit on the sidewalk,” Eopni said.
"You could see exactly where he drove because of the tire marks. (He was) just crashing into the poles, scraping along. It didn’t really look like he cared where he was going or what he was doing."
The van was on the sidewalk when the driver was apprehended, Eopni said.
Don't want to jump to conclusions, of course. This coverage makes it sound like some sort of impairment or seizure.
