Toronto police are appealing for help identifying a car involved in a fatal hit-and-run on Monday.
Police said they received reports someone had been hit by a car at around 4:21 a.m. on Monday morning at the Yonge and College streets intersection in downtown Toronto.
A man was driving a Honda Civic south along Yonge Street when he came upon a male pedestrian who “for reasons still to be determined, was lying in the southbound lane of Yonge Street just south of College,” police said.
The driver went through the intersection, hitting the man and continuing on toward Gerrard Street West, according to officers.
The pedestrian was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said. He was pronounced dead in hospital.
An investigation – led by the traffic services division – is ongoing. Police have released an image of the suspect vehicle: a dark coloured four-door Honda Civic.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
