An SUV driving eastbound on Sheppard Avenue then struck the man before fleeing the scene, police said.

Police said paramedics performed CPR on the man but he did not survive. He was pronounced dead on scene.

Investigators said they are looking for the driver of a silver 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe with front-end damage and the licence plate CRVR105.
