A 10-year-old boy riding a scooter has been hit by a car downtown and is seriously injured, Toronto police say. The collision occurred in the area of Parliament and Shuter streets, north of Queen Street East, around 5:45 p.m. Toronto paramedics told CP24 the child was taken to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Police say the driver of the car remained at the scene. They have not revealed the circumstances leading up to the collision, which are not immediately clear. A security camera at a nearby business caught the moment the crash happened. CP24 has reviewed the footage, which shows the scooter rider slamming into the door of a parked SUV as the driver is exiting. As a result, the rider appears to be thrown into oncoming traffic. Passersby run to help the scooter rider. This is the second time a child on a scooter has been hit by a vehicle. Earlier this morning, a 12-year-old boy riding his scooter was struck near Kingston and Mason roads in Scarborough. He was taken to the hospital in stable condition.
