A Hamilton man has been charged in a fatal hit-and-run in Mississauga in which a pedestrian in his 60s was struck and killed by a pickup truck in the city\u2019s west end on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

Peel Regional Police Const. Tyler Bell-Morena told reporters Thursday morning detectives arrested a 69-year-old man at his Hamilton home on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s charged in connection with the incident, which occurred at around 6 p.m. as a man in his 60s walked northbound<\/a> on the west side of the busy intersection of Dundas Street West and Winston Churchill Boulevard.<\/p>\n

The victim was using the crosswalk (see video below) when a pickup truck made a right-hand turn from southbound Winston Churchill Boulevard onto westbound Dundas Street and struck the pedestrian, police said.<\/p>\n

First responders reportedly performed life-saving efforts, but the man, described by police as a local resident on his way home, was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

Aubrey Lawrence, 69, of Hamilton, is charged with fail to remain at the scene of an accident resulting in death. Bell-Morena said more charges could be laid as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n

Bell-Morena added police used CCTV and dashcam footage from the accident scene to get the licence plate of the suspect vehicle.<\/p>\n

He added detectives want to speak with one bystander in particular who followed the suspect vehicle after the accident into a nearby Home Depot parking lot.<\/p>\n

Police want to speak with that motorist and are asking the person to call investigators.<\/p>\n
