Toronto police said the collision happened just before 7:45 p.m. in the area of Wynford Drive and Wynford Heights Crescent, east of the Don Valley Parkway.
Speaking to reporters at the scene, Duty Insp. Errol Watson said a pedestrian was crossing north the road when he was struck by an eastbound Honda Civic.
