TORONTO (680 NEWS) – A toddler has died after being struck by a falling air conditioning unit in Scarborough, Ontario.
Emergency crews were called to the scene just before 3:30 p.m. on Monday at Lawrence Avenue East and Mossbank Drive in the Toronto area.

It landed on the girl and the stroller, and both were crushed.
The child suffered life-threatening injuries and was transported to a trauma centre where she died overnight.
Police are still investigating what caused the air conditioning unit to fall out of the window.
