York Regional Police are appealing to the driver who allegedly left the scene after hitting a SUV in Markham — causing it to flip over — to contact a lawyer and officers.

The crash happened on Saturday just after 12 p.m. A 16-second dashcam video was released by police on Monday and investigators said it captured the moment of impact.

The video appears to show a grey, four-door car exiting a parking lot and attempting to turn left (northbound) on Markham Road, south of 14th Avenue.

As the car slowly made its way into the road through stopped southbound traffic, it appeared to hit a Jeep Cherokee travelling south. The SUV could be seen rolling over onto its roof.
