York Regional Police say they are seeking the driver who was involved in a fail-to-remain collision injuring a 58-year-old pedestrian in Markham.
Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Denison Street and Birchmount Road at around 7:30 a.m. Friday.
Police said they found a woman who had been hit by a white van that did not stop and fled the area.
In an update Friday afternoon, investigators described the vehicle as a white panel van with a black grill at the front.
The woman was taken to hospital by paramedics in life-threatening condition.
Police said the vehicle fled south on Birchmount Road and then went west on Steeles Avenue.
“Any witnesses who have not yet spoken with police, or anyone who may have dashcam footage of the collision, are being asked to please come forward,” police said.
Investigators encouraged the driver to seek legal counsel and turn themselves in.
