Story's been developing over the past hour or two. Toronto police haven't released any info about the driver yet but the belief is that it was intentional, as witnesses say the driver seemed to be intentionally speeding up and aiming for pedestrians. No word yet if it was terror-related.
Canadian police (and media) usually don't release identifying info about suspects early, probably in order to quell any media hysteria and runaway stereotyping. It'd be nice if the US would adopt a similar approach

Nine people are dead and 16 others are injured after a van struck a number of pedestrians Monday in the Yonge Street and Finch Avenue area of North York in Toronto.
One suspect is in custody.
Toronto police Deputy Chief Peter Yuen told reporters police have mobilized all available resources and that officers expect to be at the scene for a number of days to come.
"This is going to be a long investigation," Yuen said. There were numerous witnesses and surveillance cameras in the area, he said.
