The Hamilton Police Service released more information Wednesday morning regarding a hit-and-run collision that has left a 70-year-old man fighting for his life.
When he was struck, the man was walking at around 9 p.m. on Dec. 10 in the Upper Wentworth and Elite Dr. area near Rymal Rd.
Police say the involved Subaru was abandoned shortly after, indicating the suspect fled.
