One woman is dead and a man suffered serious injuries after they were struck by a vehicle while standing at a bus shelter in Pickering, Durham Regional Police say.
Police said at around 2:30 p.m., the driver of a white Chevrolet Cruze was heading westbound on Kingston Road, near Brock Road, when it collided with two other westbound vehicles.
“The Chevrolet Cruze then left the roadway, colliding with a bus shelter and two pedestrians, before entering the roadway again and striking a third westbound vehicle,” police said in a news release issued Thursday.
A 31-year-old woman was taken to hospital via air ambulance but was pronounced dead a short time later.
A 26-year-old man was taken to a Toronto-area trauma centre with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said all of the involved drivers remained at the scene and are cooperating with police.
Roads were closed in the area for several hours for the police investigation.
