A 34-year-old man is facing an attempted murder charge in connection with a hit-and-run crash that injured a pedestrian in Etobicoke on Saturday evening.
Investigators say a woman was struck by a vehicle in the Kipling and Horner avenues area just after 7:30 p.m.
She was taken to a trauma centre with serious, but non-life threatening injuries. Police say the vehicle failed to remain at the scene.
Eyewitnesses tell CityNews the incident took place in the parking lot of a plaza and appeared to be intentional. Police have not confirmed those reports.
“The accused is alleged to have struck the victim with a vehicle prior to fleeing the scene. I don’t have any information on what happened prior to the collision,” a police spokesperson tells CityNews.
Police later confirmed the vehicle involved in the crash was recovered, and the driver is facing several charges, including attempted murder.
