A 14-year-old girl was struck and killed by a dump truck as she walked to school in Toronto on Tuesday.

Police say the girl was hit at the intersection of Sentinel Road and Lamberton Boulevard — south of Finch Avenue West and west of Keele Street — just before 8 a.m. ET.

"The truck was northbound on Sentinel, making a left-hand turn on Lamberton at which point the pedestrian was struck," Toronto police Const. Clint Stibbe told CBC News.

Paramedics performed CPR on the girl, who was a student at nearby C.W. Jefferys Collegiate Institute, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Toronto District School Board director Donna Quan offered condolences to the family and said counsellors would be at the school Tuesday to help support students and staff.

The road was closed Tuesday as police continued their investigation. They are also asking any witnesses to come forward. No charges have been laid.

The girl's death came as thousands of students were busy returning to school for the start of the fall semester and on the same morning Toronto police launched a safety blitz to remind drivers to slow down and obey safety rules.

Speaking a few hours after the incident, Ontario Education Minister Liz Sandals called it "a difficult start to the school day" and reminded drivers to take extra care now that summer is over and students are back in class.
