Five people are in a critical condition in hospital, after an incident in Toronto in which a man driving a van ploughed into a crowded sidewalk, killing nine people and injuring 16.
As emergency responders rushed to deal with the incident, that happened as office workers were heading out to lunch, officials at the city’s Sunnybrook hospital said it was treating five people who were described as being in a “critical condition”, with two others whose condition was said to be “serious”.
While police did not immediately say whether the incident deliberate, Reuters said at least one witness said the driver appeared to be appearing to deliberately target people as he drove for up to one mile on the busy sidewalk.
