A man is dead and a woman is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after two separate hit-and-runs in Toronto on Thursday evening.
In the fatal incident, Toronto Police say a man was crossing at Bathurst and Lennox Sts., south of Bloor St. W., around 9:20 p.m. when he fell onto the roadway and was run over by what witnesses described as a large green commercial vehicle, possibly a garbage truck, that was turning right from Lennox to go south on Bathurst.
Police say it’s possible the driver is unaware they hit anyone. Police are working to identify the victim.
About two hours earlier, around 7 p.m., a 67-year-old woman crossing Patterson Ave. on the north side of Danforth Rd. when a black SUV going northeast on Danforth struck her in the crosswalk while turning left onto Patterson. The vehicle, which police say likely has damage to its front left corner, then fled.
Meanwhile, police are requesting help finding family or friends of a woman who was killed by a garbage truck earlier this week.
On Tuesday around 6 a.m., a woman in a laneway at 155 University Ave., near Adelaide St., was struck by a reversing garbage truck driven by a 19-year-old man. She died at the scene.
Police say they have been unable to reach her next of kin, so on Friday they released her name, Hang Vo, 58, in hopes someone who knows her will come forward. Police say she frequented homeless shelters in the city.
Anyone with information on any of the cases is asked to call police at 416-808-1900 or Crime Stoppers.
