Officers are appealing to the driver to come forward and speak with police.

“We are, every day, every hour, gathering more evidence to help us understand what took place here. Tell us in your own words what took place Saturday night,”  Sgt. Dave Phillips said in a statement. “We want to identify the cause of this collision and help bring closure to a family here in town.”

Police say the security footage also indicated there were a number of people near the scene at the time of the incident who have not yet spoken to officers.

“We believe there are citizens that may have a crucial piece of evidence that can help us complete the picture of what happened here,” Phillips said. “We need to know if you heard something or saw something. It may have seemed insignificant to you at the time but we want to hear from you.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 905-775-3311 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
