A 63-year-old woman was killed on Eglinton Ave. East at Hanna Road Thursday evening when she was struck by a car. The accident scene was a short distance east of Hanna Road where a black car facing eastbound was later stopped in the eastbound lane as police did reconstruction. Traffic was being diverted along Sutherland, Parklea and Hanna with Eglinton being re-opened overnight.  There was no LRT construction restriction at that point. Police said Thursday was one of the most dangerous mornings in months for pedestrians. Ten people were hit by drivers before noon. Seven were hit in one hour alone.
