TORONTO -- A 63-year-old Malvern woman was hit by a car and killed this morning as she attempted to cross the road in northeast Scarborough to catch a TTC bus.
Toronto Police say the woman's husband, who had run across Finch Ave. E., just east of Nielson Rd., to get the bus to wait, looked back in horror as a Chevy Cavalier slammed into his wife around 7:15 a.m.

"She died on impact," Const. Hugh Smith, of Traffic Services, said of the victim, who smashed through the car's windshield and ended up in the driver's lap.
There is no traffic light at the intersection.
Smith said it was dark at the time and the roads were wet, both of which are believed to be factors in the pedestrian's death.
No charges are expected to be laid, he said.
The woman's husband was comforted by family and fellow members of the area's Somali community, Smith said.
He said the man driving the car was also in shock after the accident, as was the bus driver, who also witnessed the fatality.
The victim's name was not immediately released.
