Peel police have arrested and charged a 69-year-old Hamilton man following a fatal hit-and-run in Mississauga.
Police say a man in his 60s was struck by a vehicle near Winston Churchill Boulevard and Dundas Street shortly before 6 p.m. on Sept. 29. The driver allegedly left the scene, and the pedestrian died from his injuries.
Investigators identified the suspect vehicle as a dark, two-toned Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. On Sept. 30, police arrested Aubrey Lawrence, 69, of Hamilton and charged him with failing to remain at an accident resulting in death. The vehicle was also seized.
Police are now looking to speak with a motorist who may have interacted with the accused in a nearby Home Depot parking lot shortly after the collision. Anyone with information or dashcam footage is asked to contact Peel police.
