A woman is dead after being struck by two vehicles in midtown Toronto on the morning of Dec 31. 

The woman was crossing the street on Eglinton Avenue E. near Dunfield Avenue after buying groceries, Scott Bradbury, deputy inspector with Toronto Police Service (TPS), said at a news conference.

Toronto police initially said the woman was around 80 years old. In a news release, police said a 70-year-old woman was struck.

She was hit twice by different vehicles on Eglinton Avenue E. just before 7:20 a.m., Bradbury said. He added the vehicles came from opposite directions with one heading east and the other west.

"Neither of these vehicles stayed on scene," Bradbury told reporters.

The woman died despite life-saving efforts by paramedics.
