Police are looking for a suspect and suspect vehicle after a 35-year-old man died from his injuries following a hit-and-run in Mississauga last week.

On Dec. 17, Peel police responded to a collision in front of a gas station on Dundas Street East west of Dixie Road, at around 9:15 p.m.

A man was crossing mid-block from the north side of Dundas Street to the south side when he was hit by a vehicle travelling eastbound along Dundas Street in the curb lane.

Police said the victim was rushed to hospital in life-threatening condition and succumbed to his injuries on Friday.
