A 66-year-old man died in hospital Saturday, one week after being hit by a TTC bus in one of a handful of traffic incidents to include a transit vehicle in the past week.
Police say that the man was hit at around 7:35 p.m. on Dec. 11 as he crossed Danforth Avenue near St. Clair Avenue East. The bus was heading south at the time of the collision.
Emergency crews rushed to the scene and the man was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead later that night.
Traffic Services is continuing to investigate the death, which is the 40th traffic fatality of the year in Toronto.
Meanwhile, the TTC is probing three other incidents which occurred this week, including:
A collision between a streetcar and a vehicle on St. Clair Avenue West near Bathurst on Saturday morning.
A crash between a streetcar and a van near the Main TTC station on Danforth Avenue on Friday.
A collision which occurred after a Greyhound bus cut off a streetcar and pushed it off the rails on Dundas Street East near River Street. More than a dozen people were hurt in that crash, and the bus driver is facing charges.
