Driver wanted after man suffers life-threatening injuries in downtown Toronto hit-and-run: police

Toronto police say the driver of a vehicle in a hit-and-run that left a man seriously injured early Saturday should turn themselves in.

Police said they were called to the area of Dundas and Parliament streets at 2:50 a.m.

Officers said a 52-year-old man was crossing Dundas Street from the north side, walking south on Parliament Street when an eastbound car went into the westbound lanes and hit him.

Police said the victim was walking with a group at the time and was the last one crossing.

The man was taken to hospital to be treated for life-threatening injuries.

Meanwhile, the vehicle — believed to be a grey Honda Civic — fled the scene eastbound on Dundas, police said.

Investigators have since released a security image of a suspect vehicle.

Anyone with video footage from the area around the time of the collision or who has information on the incident is asked to contact police at 416-808-1900 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.
