A tragic incident unfolded in Ajax over the weekend as a 76-year-old man succumbed to injuries sustained in a hit-and-run accident. Durham Regional Police responded to reports of a pedestrian collision on Harwood Avenue North, where the man was struck by a white 2014 Dodge Ram pickup while walking in a crosswalk.
Initially deemed minor, the man’s injuries took a turn for the worse, leading to his passing at a Toronto trauma center. The driver, a 69-year-old woman, fled the scene but was later apprehended along with the suspect vehicle.
The case is now under investigation by the DRPS Collision Investigation Unit, with details on potential charges yet to be disclosed. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward to aid in the investigation.
