South Simcoe police are looking for witnesses and dashcam footage after a tow truck driver was injured in an alleged hit-and-run in Innisfil on Tuesday afternoon.

At about 1 p.m., police say they responded to Innisfil Beach Road at the eastbound ramp of Highway 400 following an alleged hit-and-run involving a pedestrian.

Once on the scene, officers say they learned a tow truck driver had just finished loading a broken-down yellow school bus onto a flatbed trailer when he was struck from behind while standing beside his truck at about 12:40 p.m.

The 34-year-old King Township man was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries, police say.

Officers say any witnesses or people with dashcam video can contact police at 705-436-2141 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
