One of the drivers wanted in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in Scarborough in May has been arrested, Toronto police say.
In a news release on Friday, police provided an update on the May 8 collision that occurred shortly before 9:30 p.m. near Birchmount Road and St. Clair Avenue East.
Police said a female pedestrian was struck by a white cargo van in the northbound lanes and shortly after was hit again by a dark SUV in the southbound lanes.
The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said the drivers of the vehicles fled the scene.
A day after the hit-and-run, investigators found the white cargo van in the area of Kingston and McCowan roads.
More than six months later, the driver, identified as 43-year-old Gregory Manzer, was arrested earlier this week. He has been charged with leaving the accident scene causing death.
He is also facing careless driving causing bodily harm or death under the Highway Traffic Act.
Police said the dark SUV has not been located, nor has the driver. They do not have further descriptions of the two.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact traffic investigators at 416-808-3200 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
