Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said the 32-year-old Scarborough woman was later pronounced dead at the scene.

“The driver and the vehicle that struck this person may not even know what they struck,” Schmidt said in a video posted to X.

The vehicle that hit the woman is described as a white or light-coloured Toyota or Nissan and may have damage to the front driver’s side.

Mississauga OPP say they want to speak with the driver and are asking them, or anyone with information about the incident, to contact police.
