Region of Peel \u2013 Investigators from the Major Collision Bureau (MCB) have arrested and charged a man following a fatal hit-and-run collision in Mississauga that claimed the life of a pedestrian.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Sept. 29, just before 6 p.m., police responded to the intersection of Winston Churchill Boulevard and Dundas Street after a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle that failed to remain at the scene.<\/p>\n
Sadly, the victim, a man in his 60s, succumbed to his injuries at the scene.<\/p>\n
Investigators quickly identified the suspect vehicle as a dark, two-toned Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck, model year 1999 to 2005.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Sept. 30, investigators arrested and charged 69-year-old Aubrey Lawrence of Hamilton with Fail to Remain at Accident Resulting in Death. The suspect vehicle was also located and seized.<\/p>\n
Investigators believe the accused interacted with another motorist in the parking lot of a nearby Home Depot shortly after the collision. Investigators are looking to speak with this individual, as they may have information that could assist with the investigation.<\/p>\n
Anyone with dashcam footage of the collision or surrounding area, or anyone with information about this incident, is asked to contact MCB investigators at 905-453-2121, ext. 3710.<\/p>\n

This is a tragic loss of life, and leaving the scene of a fatal collision is a serious criminal offence. We all have a responsibility to keep our roads safe and to remain at the scene of a collision. I commend our Major Collision Bureau for their diligent investigative work, which led to a swift arrest and recovery of the suspect vehicle.<\/p>\n
