\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\nPolice in Peel Region are searching for a driver who struck and killed a woman in her 30s in Mississauga early Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
Police were called to the Eglinton Avenue and Erin Mills Parkway area just after 6 a.m. for reports that a pedestrian had been struck and that the driver had fled the scene.<\/p>\n
Emergency crews located a woman at the scene, who was transported to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a lot of preliminary information suggesting that it was a light-coloured vehicle that fled the scene. We have since determined that that vehicle is one of our complainants, so not a light-coloured sedan,\u201d said Sgt. Tyler Bell.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s some debris here on scene that our Major Collision Bureau is processing and they\u2019re quite confident they are able to identify the make and model of the vehicle based on the debris.\u201d<\/p>\n
Investigators say the vehicle was travelling eastbound on Eglinton Avenue when the woman was struck, and continued eastbound towards Toronto.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s absolutely no reason that anyone who hit a pedestrian, especially at the speed we believed this happened, to not know that they have struck somebody,\u201d said Bell. \u201cWe are under the impression that there is going to be substantial front-end damage to the vehicle, the hood and windshield as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bell says investigators will be combing through \u201csubstantial\u201d dashcam and CCTV footage from the area to narrow down the suspect vehicle, adding it is only a matter of time before they identify the person responsible.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know you hit somebody, lawyer up and turn yourself in to police.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police are also appealing to automotive businesses in the area to contact them if they come in contact with someone who has a vehicle with front-end damage.<\/p>\n
