<p>After striking the pedestrians, the van fled the scene, <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/pedestrians-struck-white-van-1.4631564" target="_blank">CB</a>C reported.</p>

<p>Alex Shaker, who witnessed the incident, said the van was speeding down the street before it mounted the curb and plowed into people.</p>
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<p>“He started going down on the sidewalk and crumbling down people one by one,” Shaker told <a href="https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/witness-van-struck-every-single-thing-on-toronto-sidewalk-1.3898118#_gus&_gucid=&_gup=twitter&_gsc=0ykzGhj" target="_blank">CTV</a>. “He just destroyed so many people’s lives. Every single thing that got in his way.”</p>

<p>A worker at a gym in a building next to the site of the incident told Fox News that employees were told to stay inside as first responders tended to the scene.</p>
