No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

you're glad people were run over? I'm pretty sure she's glad I'm OK, and not that Torontonians were run over. ...but she has been getting a bit more sadistic lately.   |

Jaguar posted about an hour ago that she was home from a hospital appointment so I'm thinking she's okay. Sure hope I'm thinking right!

I'm here crying oh my gosh this is horrible. I've been on every news site trying to get info. It looks deliberate, shit! I was on Facebook and the news broke in telling about this accident. It isn't an accident the police have the son of a bitch.

He was armed with a gun, but they got him.
It might have been his cell phone in his hands, not a gun.

Preliminaries are: large vehicle (some say "bus", some say "van") runs into pedestrians along a stretch of Yonge St. in North Toronto. Presently 1 Dead, 4 Critical. Several others ranging from Serious - Fair.
Nobody knows anything about the driver or his motives, although it does appear to be a deliberate act.
My recommendation: turn off the TV, wait until tomorrow morning, and get the facts all in one shot. No point stressing out over it tonight while the reporting is so fluid.

There's three trauma hospitals in downtown Toronto, SunnyBrook, St Michael's and Toronto General Hospital. I heard these patients were all taken to SunnyBrook.

I'm glad you are all ok. I know we have Canadians but I don't know where you all are.
My condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed and injured.
