One pedestrian is dead, and two others were injured – one critically – following a multi-vehicle crash in Richmond Hill on Thursday night.

Police in York Region say there was a collision involving two vehicles just after 4 p.m. at the intersection of Leslie Street and Major Mackenzie Drive, and as a result of the crash, three pedestrians were also struck.

Toronto paramedics say one of the pedestrians was found without vital signs, and police confirmed they were pronounced dead at the scene.

A second pedestrian was taken to a trauma centre with life-threatening injuries, while a third person was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

The ages and genders of the pedestrians were not immediately available. It’s unclear at this point where the pedestrians were when they were struck.

The drivers of the vehicles remained at the scene and did not suffer any serious physical injuries, according to police.
