Toronto police say they have arrested a driver after a white van struck a number of pedestrians in the Yonge Street and Finch Avenue area.
Eight to 10 people were hit, police said initially, though Toronto paramedics put the injured number at closer to five.
A witness said separately that he had seen at least four bodies lying covered on the ground.
The van, which may have mounted the curb and hit the pedestrians on the sidewalk, was stopped by police, Const. Jenifferjit Sidhu told CBC Toronto.
