Vehicular ordeal
The incident occurred at Confederation Drive and Scarborough Golf Club Road at around 8:20 PM. According to the police, the teen appears to have been struck as he was crossing the road. The citizens at the scene performed CPR on the boy before the first responders arrived and took over.
The boy was rushed to a trauma center with life-threatening injuries. Around two hours later, the police confirmed that the boy died of his injuries in the hospital.
A sedan with a smashed-in windshield and roof could still be seen on the road. The police have spoken to the driver of the vehicle and he is cooperating with the investigation.
