A two-year-old boy who was struck by a vehicle outside of an Etobicoke apartment building on Tuesday afternoon has succumbed to his injuries in hospital.

Police say that a 25-year-old man was parked outside of the building in the Scarlett and Richview roads area waiting to pick someone up.

While the driver waited, police say that a two-year-old boy and his mother exited the building.

The person the driver was waiting for then exited through the same door and got into the vehicle.

At that point, the driver reversed and struck the toddler.

The toddler was rushed to hospital but was later pronounced dead.

Police are appealing to residents, businesses, and drivers who may have surveillance footage or dashcam video to come forward.

No charges have been laid in connection with the collision at this point.
