Two pedestrians were injured, one seriously, after being struck by the driver of a vehicle in Toronto’s Forest Hill area Tuesday morning.

The collision happened near Chaplin Crescent and Eglinton Avenue West.

Toronto police said they were called to that area at 8:21 a.m. for reports of a man and a woman being hit by a vehicle.

Paramedics told CTV News Toronto that the woman sustained serious, but non-life-threatening, injuries and was transported to a local trauma centre. The man’s injuries are minor and he was taken to hospital, they said.

The driver remained on scene.

Chaplin was closed in both directions between Eglinton and Roselawn Avenue, but has since re-opened.
