A woman is recovering from serious injuries after a hit-and-run collision in Brampton on January 9th. The incident occurred at the intersection of Ray Lawson Blvd. and Falstaff Dr. around 5:50 p.m., leaving the victim with multiple fractures.
Police report that the driver of the vehicle involved made no attempt to stop or assist the injured woman. Instead, the vehicle fled westbound on Ray Lawson Blvd., disappearing into the evening traffic.
Investigators are searching for a white, four-door Honda Civic, manufactured between 2010 and 2015. The vehicle is believed to have sustained significant frontal damage as a result of the impact.
Crucially, debris recovered from the scene is currently undergoing analysis, potentially holding vital clues to identify the vehicle and its driver. Authorities have also secured CCTV and dashcam footage documenting the suspect’s escape route.
Police are urging the driver to seek legal counsel and voluntarily turn themselves in. This is a serious offense, and proactive action is strongly advised.
Anyone with information regarding this incident, including witnesses or those with dashcam footage, is asked to contact 22 Division investigators directly. Automotive repair shops are also asked to be vigilant for a Civic matching the description.
In a separate incident, a collision between a train and a snowplow occurred in Scarborough during the city’s heaviest snowfall of the season. The event took place near the Scarborough Golf Club and Kingston Rds. around 1:56 p.m. on Thursday.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the Scarborough train and snowplow collision. Police responded to the scene and closed Scarborough Golf Club Rd. between Dale Ave. and Confederation Dr., advising drivers to find alternate routes.
Elsewhere in the region, police are investigating a shooting at a Brampton business, an assault on demonstrators, and a teen facing charges related to “swatting” – a dangerous and illegal prank.
As the season changes, residents of Toronto are also being warned to anticipate an increase in coyote sightings, as the animals enter their mating season.
