Representatives with Peel Regional Police and Peel Paramedics didn’t release the extent of the injuries the girl sustained, but officers later noted she was stabilized at the hospital.
The circumstances leading up to the collision weren’t clear as of Wednesday morning, but police added the driver remained at the scene.
Wednesday’s incident marks the second time in as many days when a teenager was hit by a vehicle. In Toronto’s east end on Tuesday, a 17-year-old girl died near a high school after she was struck.
