CBC
A man has been charged in connection with a fatal hit and run on Highway 401 in Mississauga last year, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say.
In a news release issued Monday, OPP said the collision happened in Highway 401's westbound collector lanes near Mavis Road on April 22, 2023, around 2:30 a.m.
Police previously said witnesses saw a white Audi S5 car driving with "extreme high rates of speed" slam into the man's car. The collision caused the man's vehicle to rotate and get pushed into the guard rail, they added.
A 29-year-old man was taken to hospital where he later died, they said last year.
Police initially reported that the victim was from Cambridge but said Monday that he is from Mississauga. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene on foot, police said.
On Monday, police said a 34-year-old Brampton man was arrested on Aug. 14 in relation to the collision. He is charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death, failing to stop at an accident resulting in death, four counts of failing to comply with a release order and failing to comply with an undertaking.
The accused appeared in Brampton court on Aug. 15 and was remanded into custody, OPP said.
"The family of the deceased has been informed of the arrest and continues to receive support from victim specialists," the release said.
