Investigators said the northbound curb land and middle lane were closed overnight for construction and that the area was “marked accordingly.”

A light-coloured SUV driving northbound on the DVP drove into the construction zone and struck a 46-year-old man who was working, police said.

The SUV did not stop and kept going northbound on the DVP, police said, adding the vehicle likely has front end damage.

Police said the construction worker suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
