Toronto police have released a new security camera image of a grey Dodge Ram pickup truck they say was involved in a hit-and-run that killed a 50-year-old woman in the city’s northwest end.
Authorities said the right front tire and rim assembly on the vehicle have been replaced and was using a spare tire replacement.
Police are asking any body shop, or parts supplier, who have recently been contacted for replacement tires or rims for a Dodge Ram pickup truck to come forward.
