Four members of a family, including three children, are in hospital after they were struck by the driver of a vehicle in Etobicoke Wednesday evening.

Emergency crews received a call just after 6 p.m. for a collision at the intersection of Islington and Orrell avenues, north of Dundas Street West.

A woman was transported to the hospital in life-threatening condition, police said.

Three children – a one-month-old, a one-year-old and a four-year-old – were also taken to the hospital. Shutt said their injuries were serious but non-life threatening.

Meanwhile, the driver, a 76-year-old woman, remained at the scene. 

The circumstances surrounding the collision were not immediately known.
