Toronto police are investigating a hit-and-run collision that left a pedestrian and his dog with serious injuries last week.
The incident occurred at approximately 5 p.m. on October 27 near Davenport Road and Salem Avenue North. According to investigators, a 31-year-old man and his dog were waiting to cross the street at the southeast corner of the intersection when a westbound pickup truck made a sudden left turn and hit them.
The victims were dragged along the roadway before the driver fled southbound on Salem Road North without stopping to provide assistance. Both the man and his dog suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Police believe the suspect vehicle is a black 2018–2020 Ford F-150 pickup truck equipped with blacked-out taillights.
Police are urging anyone who witnessed the collision or has relevant security camera or dashcam footage to contact them.
