A woman, 45, who stepped into the path of oncoming vehicles is in life-threatening condition after being struck in the area of Sherbourne St. and Dundas St. E.“(She) intentionally laid down on the roadway,” Const. Clint Stibbe said. He said the first vehicle on the scene, a light-coloured minivan, saw the woman and swerved to avoid her before continuing east on Dundas, and the woman was ultimately struck by a vehicle behind the minivan, described as a dark-coloured SUV. Paramedics were called to the scene just minutes after 4 a.m. and rushed the woman to the hospital. Regardless of whether the second driver’s ability to see the woman was impaired by the vehicle in front of them, Stibbe said the “driver would’ve known they struck something.”
