Twenty-six-year-old Gregory Girgis was one of two pedestrians hit during a multi-vehicle collision ON Canada Day

The pedestrian who was struck and killed by an alleged drunk driver in downtown Toronto on Canada Day has been identified by his family, remembering him as someone with a great sense of humour and a “huge heart.”
Twenty-six-year-old Gregory Girgis was one of two pedestrians hit during a multi-vehicle collision at Wellington Street and University Avenue, at 11:45 p.m. on Friday.
Police said a 26-year-old man was operating a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee westbound on Wellington Avenue West, while 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 drove through the intersection on a red traffic light and collided with the Honda and Toyota, police said.
Girgis suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The other pedestrian hit, a 32-year-old man, suffered severe injuries and was transported to hospital.
Occupants of the Honda and the Toyota were also taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Toronto paramedics said they transported a total of seven people to hospital.
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 operation causing death and bodily harm, and dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm.
Thakur was set to appear in court on Saturday. The charges have not been proven.
OLDER BROTHER REMEMBERS VICTIM
Girgis' older brother Kevin described him as a sweet and caring person who had an infectious laugh.
"Deep down, he had a huge heart even though he was a little bit of a jokester," Kevin said. "He was just a very lovable person."
"He was really funny. Everybody laughed at him, with him at the same time, too. If you ever needed something from him, all you had to do is ask," he added.
Kevin said his brother had just finished his shift at a nearby Jack Astor's 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 formed near the scene of the crash, where flowers, a hockey stick and a beer have been placed.
"It's still not real," Kevin said. "It won't be real, probably ever."
"None of us really got to say bye to him, which is the worst part."
Kevin shared that he talked to his brother about life during a short phone call a few days ago. Gregory, 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 for whatever happened. And he would reassure me," he said. "I tried to do that for him. And I tried to learn as much from him as I tried to teach him. I just wish he would have had the opportunity to show that and come full circle to that."

Regis Korchinski-Paquet's family launches $10M civil suit against police
Korchinski-Paquet fell from her balcony to her death after police were called to her High Park residence on May 27, 2020.
The dead woman, her mother and her brother had all called 911 because of a family dispute.
There was confusion — and conflicting stories — around the Toronto woman’s death right from the beginning and for several reasons, not least of which was that it happened only days after the killing of George Floyd, and in the midst of outraged demonstrations against the police.
The Special Investigations Unit was called in, but the police watchdog ultimately found there were no grounds to charge any of the officers involved.
Now a civil lawsuit has been launched by the family against the head of the SIU and the attending police officers, as well as the province’s attorney general, the City of Toronto and the Toronto Community Housing.
The $10 million lawsuit alleges Korchinski-Paquet’s relatives were given misleading information at the time of her death and as a result suffered severe emotional distress.
