An 84-year-old woman has died of her injuries after she was struck by the driver of a school bus who fled the scene in Richmond Hill.
York Regional Police (YRP) officers were called to the Yonge Street area just north of Silverwood Avenue at around 3 p.m. on Tuesday for reports of a pedestrian hit by a school bus.
YRP said the woman was assessed with a head injury and transported to a local hospital, but her condition worsened to critical. In an update on Thursday, police said she has since died.
Police noted that the school bus driver fled the scene, though the individual has been identified. The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with dashcam footage or additional information is asked to come forward.
