Police have released surveillance video of a vehicle wanted in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in Scarborough.
Emergency crews responded to a call of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle around 7:12 a.m. on Wednesday in the area of St. Clair Avenue East and Midland Avenue.
A 61-year-old man, who was later identified by friends as Jack Miehm, was taken to a local hospital with critical injuries where he later died.
Toronto police said the pedestrian was attempting to make his way across a crosswalk when he was struck by a black Chrysler minivan travelling eastbound on St. Clair Avenue East.
“What it does show is that our victim crossing the road at the crosswalk, the vehicle travelling east on St. Clair and you can see it continues through the intersection. It does not stop,” Sgt. Brett Moore said.
Authorities are appealing for residents or drivers who were present at the time of the incident to come forward.
“You can see clearly there’s other drivers and possibly other pedestrians that are in the area as well,” Moore said.
“So anybody that would have seen something that might be nervous or didn’t come forward right away, we’re looking for them to come forward now.”
Anyone with information is urged to call police at 416-808-1900 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS.
