A pedestrian was seriously injured after a hit-and-run in Toronto Wednesday morning, police said.
Toronto police say officers responded to reports of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle in the area of St. Clair and Lansdowne avenues at 4:36 a.m.
A man was found unconscious and taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.
According to police, the driver fled the scene.
“This is early in our investigation, but it appears it may be a failed stay. We are looking for video on St. Clair here and Lansdowne and are appealing to anyone who may have been driving nearby who has a dash cam around this time or for residences or businesses in the area to please contact us or traffic services,” said Sgt. Inspector Paul Krawczyk at the scene.
Krawczyk said the suspect is described as a black man between 40 and 50 years old and was wearing a green T-shirt, black shorts and brown sandals.
Roads in the area are closed while police investigate.
