London Police investigate the scene of a car crash in London, Ontario on Monday, June 7, 2021. Police say multiple people have died after several pedestrians were struck by a car Sunday night.
Police said the dead were a 74-year-old woman, a 46-year-old man, a 44-year-old woman and a 15-year-old girl. A 9-year-old boy was reported in serious condition. The family requested the names not be released, officials said. About a dozen police officers combed the area around the crash site looking for evidence Monday. Blue markers on the ground dotted the intersection.
Zahid Khan, a family friend, said the three generations among the dead were a grandmother, father, mother and teenage daughter. The family had immigrated from Pakistan 14 years ago and were dedicated, decent and generous members of the London Muslim Mosque, he said.
