A teenage pedestrian was seriously injured after being hit by a vehicle in Ajax on Thursday afternoon, according to Durham police.
The incident occurred around 2:25 p.m. at the intersection of Harwood Avenue North and Rossland Road East. Officers responded to reports that a 16-year-old girl had been struck by a southbound Mini Cooper.
She was taken to a Toronto-area trauma centre with significant injuries. Authorities have not provided an update on her condition.
The 48-year-old driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with investigators.
Police closed the intersection for several hours while examining the scene, but it has since reopened. The investigation is ongoing, and officials are asking anyone who witnessed the collision or may have dashcam footage to come forward.
