Police say an elderly man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after allegedly hitting several people with a vehicle in northeast Toronto, killing one.
Toronto police Det. Sgt Brandon Price says the crash was ``an intentional act'' involving people with a ``familial relation.''
He says the specifics of the charges in the case, including whether it will be first- or second-degree murder, will be determined as the investigation progresses.
Police were called to the parking lot of an apartment building near Victoria Park Avenue and Cassandra Boulevard around 12:40 p.m. Wednesday for what Price described as a ``violent vehicle-related incident.''
Investigators initially said four people had been hit but Price says there were only three victims: two women, one of them elderly, and a man.
He says one of them, a woman in her 60s, died in hospital.
