Toronto man has iPhone stolen right after crashing into nun

The male driver is believed to have run a red light initially causing the collision

The weather was great in the Toronto area over the weekend, but one man didn't have such a good day on Sunday.

Toronto police say a man got into a collision with a nun and then had his iPhone stolen.

Staff Sgt. Katie Shaw told CBC it happened just after 6 a.m. when police believe the male driver ran a red light and struck a car at Keele Street and Eglinton Avenue, which was being driven by a nun, who was on her way to church. The impact of the crash sent the nun's vehicle through an empty bus shelter and into a garbage bin.

The male driver got out his iPhone and tried to call 911, but was too shaken up to make the phone call. A passerby offered to help, but ran off with the phone right after the driver passed it over to him.

While some may say this guy is having a bad day, others may attribute the robbery to instant karma.

The driver has been charged with careless driving and according to the Toronto Star, the robbery suspect has been described as black, with a skinny build and having braids. The nun was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
