A driver who fatally struck two pedestrians in Mimico on Thursday night before being killed in a subsequent collision with a parked vehicle had several licence prohibitions that should have prevented him from getting behind the wheel, police say.

Police say that the driver, a 36-year-old man, was headed east in a 2020 Cadillac XT6 when he was involved in a “minor collision” with a parked van.

They say that several bystanders attempted to provide assistance, smashing the vehicle’s window in order to gain access to the driver. At the same time, a 75-year-old man and a 43-year-old woman were in a crosswalk at Lake Shore Boulevard West and Superior Avenue.

Bureaucracy killed these people. Where's the news story on the total failure of thinking that a licence suspension is any kind of deterrent/effective?

so they were driving with a medical condition. very scary. wake up people!

My god!

Police should have have been on scene of the first collision to intercept the driver and none of this would have happened. Doesn’t matter if he had a license in good standing or not.

This is beyond sad

This is so fucked. To feel that extreme level of entitlement that you get behind the wheel, knowing you’re a hazard, and just not care. Horrific.

Why don’t people bother READING the actual article & not JUST headlines! So many ignorant comments. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Horrific

we lost two innocent lives for no reason. shame rip

People are acting like all he has was a provincial suspension. He also had a federal criminal code driving prohibition. The guy was a convicted criminal who was given access to a vehicle by someone who is also responsible for these deaths, and his.

A man who fatally struck two pedestrians in Mimico after fleeing the scene of an earlier minor collision was driving with a --------- suspended licence, police revealed on Friday

Does anyone know who was the driver?

Good riddance to this driver. We don’t need bad drivers like him in our gene pool.

And possibly stopped earlier too but probably gave them that do t you know who I am attitude eh...😡😡😡🙏🙏

Driving is a privilege, not a human right. Somone who is prone to seizures should not behind the wheel.

thank god you have TRUDEAU!

“Police say that the driver was having what appeared to be a seizure” next…
