The University of Guelph is mourning the death of a student who was struck by a vehicle in downtown Toronto on Boxing Day.

In a statement, the university said Kean McKenzie, a first-year Bachelor of Arts English student, was among eight injured in the Dec. 26 collision.

Toronto police said two vehicles collided and one rolled on its side and struck multiple pedestrians. A total of eight people were taken to hospital.

McKenzie were standing on a corner with their father Sean waiting for a crossing signal when they were all struck.

The University of Guelph said campus flags will be lowered on Monday in Kean’s honour. A memorial service is also being planned.
