A 34-year-old pedestrian died in hospital Thursday after he was struck by a vehicle in North York, Toronto police say.

The collision happened just before 7 a.m. on the westbound Highway 401 off-ramp to Keele Street, according to police.

The man was rushed with critical injuries to hospital, where he died a short time later.

In a news release on Friday, police said a 67-year-old woman driving a grey 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe on the off-ramp struck the man as she made a right turn to travel north onto Keele Street. The man was crossing Keele Street north of the off-ramp when he was hit.

Police have said the driver remained at the scene.

The police traffic services unit is investigating.

Anyone with security or dashboard camera footage of the area or incident is being asked to contact police.

South Korea Jeju black boxes stopped recording just before crash
STORY: :: FileThe two back boxes on the Jeju passenger jet that crashed last month in South Korea stopped recording four minutes before the accident. That's according to a statement released on Saturday by the country’s Ministry of Transport, which added authorities now plan to investigate why they stopped recording. It’s a setback for investigators who believed the flight data and cockpit voice recorders were key to finding the cause of the worst aviation disaster on South Korean soil.:: Lee Geun-youngThe plane, which had departed the Thai capital Bangkok for Muan in southwestern South Korea on December 29, crash-landed and burst into flames after overshooting the regional airport’s runway. Just minutes before the crash, the pilot reported a bird strike. Just two cabin crew survived and 179 people were killed. The recovered voice recorder was initially analyzed in South Korea, but when data was found to be missing, it was sent to a U.S. laboratory.One former accident investigator at the transport ministry suggested the cause of the missing data could be a loss of all power, including backup, though this was very rare.
