In a devastating incident this past Sunday morning, Peel Regional Police are investigating a fatal hit-and-run accident that occurred in Mississauga, specifically at the intersection of Erin Mills Parkway and Eglinton Avenue West. At approximately 6 a. m. , a 38-year-old woman was struck by a white Mercedes sedan traveling eastbound on Eglinton Avenue at high speed. The driver did not stop, leaving the victim dead at the scene.<\/p>\n
Investigators suggest the suspect vehicle has significant windshield and front-end damage. Police are urging local body shops to report any incoming repairs matching this description. Constable Tyler Bell-Morena emphasized that the driver is aware of hitting a person and called for the individual to ‘lawyer up’ and surrender. This appeal comes as police review substantial video evidence that could soon lead to an identification of the suspect. Anyone with further information or relevant footage is encouraged to contact the authorities.<\/p>\n
