Investigators with the force’s Major Collision Bureau are also appealing for any witnesses to the Aug. 18 incident in west Mississauga to contact them. Police are also interested in any video footage of the hit-and-run.

According to police, a 58-year-old man was struck by a car as he crossed Dundas Street West mid-block just east of The Credit Woodlands at about 11 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 18.
