Friends are remembering the two pedestrians who were struck and killed by a vehicle in Mimico on Thursday.
A driver who fatally struck two pedestrians in Mimico on Thursday night before being killed in a subsequent collision with a parked vehicle had several licence prohibitions that should have prevented him from getting behind the wheel, police say.
Moments later, a 75-year-old man and a 43-year-old woman were in a crosswalk at Lake Shore Boulevard West and Superior Avenue, about two-and-a-half kilometres down the road from the initial crash site. “Traditionally, when we're investigating a matter, we're generally investigating with the intent of laying criminal or provincial charges against someone at fault. In this case, all the participants are deceased and as a result of that we think it's important that the public understand that the individual that was driving this vehicle, who caused this collision, was, in fact, prohibited from driving on any road in this country,” Supt.
While police have not released the names of the victims, friends have identified them as 43-year-old Kelly Hamilton and 75-year-old Kenneth Arkwell.
