A woman has serious injuries after being hit by the driver of a vehicle in midtown Toronto late Monday afternoon, say paramedics.

The collision happened in the Forest Hill North neighbourhood near Bathurst Street and Ridge Hill Drive, just north of Eglinton Avenue West.

Toronto police said they were called to that area just after 5:45 p.m. for reports of a female pedestrian in her 40s who had been struck by a vehicle.

Paramedics said they transported an adult female to a local hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries.

Police said the driver remained at the scene.

Northbound Bathurst was closed at Ridge Hill as police investigated, but has since reopened.
