Police have identified the victim as Linda Prakash from Brampton.
The driver did not remain on the scene but left behind some pieces of the vehicle. Peel police say they are looking for a black four-door Honda or Mazda that has damage to the passenger side of the car including damage to the passenger side mirror.
Investigators say they have recovered surveillance video and are confident they will be able to identify the vehicle and driver.
