A pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle that fled the scene in Brampton has died in hospital.
The pedestrian, a 46-year-old woman from Brampton, was struck in live lanes on the northbound Highway 410 off-ramp to Steeles Avenue at 12:20 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 6, the Ontario Provincial Police said.
The pedestrian was transported to hospital with critical injuries. She succumbed to those injuries in hospital, OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said today.
Police have not identified the victim.
Investigators said the driver did not stop after the collision and asked for the public’s help in identifying both the vehicle and the person behind the wheel.
There was vehicle debris and parts found at the scene of the collision, Schmidt said.
Police are looking for a Jeep Cherokee that is likely missing part of its front bumper grille and has damage to the hood as a result of the collision. The 2014 to 2017 Jeep Cherokee is black, police said.
