A young Toronto resident has died after being hit by a vehicle on Highway 401 in Scarborough late Thursday night, leading to major overnight lane closures.
Emergency crews were called around 10:25 p.m. to the westbound collector lanes near McCowan Road after reports of a pedestrian-involved collision. Upon arrival, officers found the victim and confirmed the individual had died at the scene. Investigators say there is no indication of foul play.
The crash prompted the closure of all westbound collector lanes between Markham Road and McCowan Road for several hours while authorities conducted an investigation and reconstructed the incident. The roadway has since reopened.
Police confirmed the driver stayed at the scene and cooperated. No charges have been laid so far. Authorities are asking witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage from the area to come forward.
