Gregory Girgis, 26, was one of two pedestrians hit during a multi-vehicle crash at Wellington Street and University Avenue at 11.45pm on Friday.
Police said a 26-year-old man was operating a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee westbound on Wellington West Avenue, a 53-year-old man was operating a 2022 Honda CRV northbound on University Avenue and a 49-year-old man was operating a 2020 Toyota Corolla northbound on University Avenue .
The 26-year-old man allegedly ran a red light through the intersection and collided with the Honda and Toyota, police said.
Girgis was fatally wounded and pronounced dead at the scene.
The other pedestrian he hit, a 32-year-old man, was seriously injured and taken to hospital.
The occupants of the Honda and Toyota were also taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
Toronto paramedics said they took a total of seven people to hospital.
One person died and seven others were injured after a crash at Wellington Street and University Avenue on Friday night. 
Nitan Thakur, 26, of Toronto was arrested in connection with the incident and faces six charges, including impaired operation causing death and bodily harm, over 80 operating causing death and bodily harm and dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm damage.
Thakur was scheduled to appear in court on Saturday.  The charges have not been proven.

The older brother remembers the victim

Girgis’ older brother, Kevin, described him as a sweet and loving person who had an infectious laugh.
“Deep down, he had a huge heart, even though he was a bit of a joker,” Kevin said.  “He was just a very lovable person.”
“He was really funny. Everyone was laughing at him, at him too. If you ever needed anything from him, all you had to do was ask,” he added.
Kevin said his brother had just finished his shift at a nearby Jack Astor when the incident happened.  On Saturday, the restaurant closed for the day in memory of his little brother, he said.
A makeshift memorial has also been formed near the crash site.
“It’s still not real,” Kevin said.  “It won’t be real, probably never.”
“None of us got to say goodbye to him, which is the worst part.”
Kevin shared that he spoke to his brother about life in a short phone call a few days ago.  George, he said, always gave excellent advice.
“He could reassure me even though he’s younger than me. Sometimes I made mistakes. And I go to him for reassurance about whatever was going on. And he reassured me,” she said.  “I tried to do that for him. And I tried to learn from him as much as I tried to teach him. I just wish he had a chance to show it and come full circle.”
