A man is dead after being hit by vehicle on the eastbound lanes of the Gardiner Expressway. It happened around 1:30 a.m. Sunday. "At this point in the investigation, it is a little too early to tell," Const. Craig Brister told CP24 Sunday morning. "I don’t want to start to get into speculation as to what they were doing on the highway in the first place but I know investigators are still currently working to determine that." All lanes were closed from Jamieson to east of Spadina for about six hours.
