York Regional Police (YRP) recently located the suspect vehicle linked to a hit-and-run incident that tragically claimed the life of a woman in Vaughan. The victim, a live-in caregiver heading to work, was fatally struck by a northbound vehicle while walking along Pine Valley Drive on the evening of October 4.
The driver fled the scene, and the woman’s body was only discovered two days later when a passerby noticed her belongings near the roadside. Despite ongoing efforts, the victim remains unidentified.
In a significant development, Kamel Hazime, a 41-year-old resident of Vaughan, was apprehended and charged with failing to stop after causing a fatal accident. The suspect vehicle, identified as a white 2020 to 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van captured on surveillance footage, was located by authorities on October 20.
