Toronto police have arrested an impaired driver after two people were hit by a vehicle on the city’s waterfront Sunday morning.
Police said on social media that one of the victims was taken to the hospital after being struck near Lower Spadina Avenue and Queens Quay West around 9:30 a.m.
One victim was a cyclist while the other was riding an e-scooter, police told The Globe and Mail in a statement. Both suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said information on charges was not yet available.
In 2016, the City of Toronto adopted a strategy called Vision Zero, which aims to eliminate all road fatalities by focusing on the most vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists, school children and older adults.
The Swedish government coined the term “vision zero” when it implemented a policy in 1997 aimed at eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries.
In Toronto, 31 people have died in motor vehicle collisions so far this year, according to Toronto police data.
