The cause and extent of the injuries is not known at this time, but up to 10 people were reportedly struck by the vehicle. Toronto police spokesperson Gary Long told Global News: “Reports were that a white van mounted the curb, drove down the sidewalk at southbound Yonge, south of Finch, and struck eight to 10 people possibly, the numbers aren’t confirmed yet”.
Resident Henri Miller told SkyNews that the vehicle "swerving to, what I would say, fairly deliberately hitting pedestrians" at approximately "60 to 70 mph".

Let's see how many blame the vehicle, not the driver. And insist on changes to get a rental van.

Didn't Ryder supply the Oklahoma City bomber and have to change the color from yellow to white on their vans? :?:

The suspect in the Toronto van attack was a man who travelled through the world with two identities: One as a socially awkward student who rarely spoke, barely functioned and had difficulty controlling tics, and another as an expert-level whiz who could lead classmates through the intricacies of computer chips.

Police Chief Mark Saunders identified the suspect in a vehicle attack that killed at least 10 people and injured 15 as Alek Minassian, 25, of Richmond Hill, Ont. He was not previously known to police.

I stand corrected. Those darn AR-15's can disguise themselves into many different shapes and forms, like trucks!

Forgive me, I am not worthy.... :oops: :( At least it wasn't using armor piercing, heat-seeking, high-powered bullets!
