A woman has been killed while crossing the road in Scarborough.
The 41-year-old died following the hit-and-run at Kingston Road and Warden Avenue at around 3:48 p.m.
Toronto police Const. Clint Stibbe says the woman was hit with enough force to end up “quite a fair distance” away from where she was struck.
The driver initially fled the scene; however police subsequently made an arrest in connection with the hit-and-run near Queen Street and Northern Dancer Boulevard, which is about five kilometres away from the accident scene. Paramedics confirm that they transported one man to hospital from that scene with minor injuries.
Stibbe added police are looking to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the accident or seen the suspect vehicle after it fled the scene.
“We have the majority of the pieces – in particular the evidence at the roadside as well as the driver and the vehicle that we believe were involved – but at the same time there is a period of time in between and we need to speak with anybody who may have seen the vehicle,”
The intersection of Kingston Road and Warden Avenue was closed as police investigated the circumstances surrounding the collision.
CP24 obtained exclusive video of the man being arrested.
