was a joyful child with an affinity for puzzles whose loss has left her family and the community reeling in grief, according to loved ones.
“She was just such a joy to be around,” Daniele Conte, a Toronto resident and long-time family friend of the Drozd family told CTV News Toronto in an interview Tuesday. “She was super friendly with any other children she would come across.”Charlotte Drozd was walking with her mother on Dundas Street West, approaching High Park Avenue, in Toronto’s Junction neighbourhood on July 5 when police say she “suddenly ran" into the road and was struck by an SUV.
On Monday, police announced Charlotte had succumbed to her injuries. No charges are expected to be laid, police previously said.“They’re shattered,” Michelle Vieira, another family friend, said of the Drozd family. “There’s just too much to process.”“She loved to make art with her mom,” she said. “They’d make matching art pieces together.”
The loss of Charlotte has hit the community hard, and the response has been"overwhelming," Vieira said. A memorial set up near where Charlotte was hit has seen community members leave candles, flowers, and teddy bears in an effort to pay their respects.
