Yes, I can! Before I do that, however, I think it's really important to give the definition in this context since toll has a couple of meanings. "Toll" in this context, means a total number of deaths or injuries due to a natural disaster or an unfortunate circumstance. It is basically a running count, a tally, number or amount. Here are some examples: Ex: The death toll for the car accident was 10 people. Ex: The hurricane caused a large toll of injuries.
