A man riding an e-scooter was struck by a transport truck in Brampton on Friday evening, sending him to the hospital in life-threatening condition.
Peel police say a man is in life-threatening condition after being hit by a transport truck in Brampton.
Peel Regional Police said they received multiple reports of a pedestrian being hit in the area of Dixie Road and Queen Street, shortly after 6:30 p.m. “What we now know is that pedestrian was riding an e-scooter of sorts, and that they were struck by the transport truck during a turning motion,” Const. Tyler Bell-Morena told CP24.The entire intersection is currently closed in all directions, and Bell-Morena says they anticipate the roads will remain closed for the next two to three hours.
As the day hours turn darker earlier the closer we get to winter, Bell-Morena cautions anyone riding an e-scooter to wear something visible to the motorist. “Visibility is key, especially when you’re on an e-bike,” Bell-Morena said. “It’s on motorists as well to be more and alert and be visible, especially transport drivers.”Parents across GTA warned by some private daycares that they may pull out of $10-a-day program
