Police are looking for witnesses after a woman in her 60s was struck and killed by a driver in North York late Thursday, police say.

The collision happened around 10:10 p.m. in the area of Wilson Avenue and Avenue Road.

The woman was crossing in the crosswalk when she was hit by a Mazda CX-7 traveling east on Wilson Avenue, police said in a news release Friday.

She was taken to hospital, where she later died of her injuries.

The driver remained at the scene, police said in a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter.

A number of road closures were in place in the area for the police investigation.

Anyone with information or dashcam video is asked to contact Toronto police or to leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers.
