In a tragic incident that underscores the vulnerability of pedestrians, a hit-and-run occurred at the intersection of Winston Churchill Boulevard and Dundas Street West in Mississauga on the evening of September 29, 2026. A man in his 60s was fatally struck by a southbound Chevrolet Silverado 1500 series pickup truck while he was crossing the street. The suspect vehicle, described as a two-tone model from 1999-2005, was making a right-hand turn onto Dundas Street West when it hit the pedestrian.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, and the driver fled without stopping. Constable Tyler Bell of Peel Regional Police has noted that substantial dashcam and CCTV footage has been collected from the area, which may lead to identifying the driver. A police update is expected to provide more details on the investigation, aiming to bring justice for the deceased and his family.

Your Rights and Options
As a pedestrian in Ontario, you have the right to cross streets safely, and drivers are legally required to yield at crosswalks. Should you or a loved one be involved in a pedestrian accident, it is crucial to report the incident to the police and gather evidence, such as witness statements and video footage, which can be instrumental in any legal proceedings. Under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, failure to remain at the scene of an accident is a serious offense.
If you’re considering legal action, you should be aware of the two-year limitation period under the Limitations Act, 2002 for filing a personal injury claim. Consulting with legal professionals can help ensure you take the right steps to protect your rights and seek compensation.
