A fatal hit-and-run occurred on Sept. 29 at the Winston Churchill Boulevard and Dundas Street West intersection in Mississauga, where a pedestrian in his 60s was struck and pronounced dead at the scene. Peel Regional Police determined the suspect vehicle was a Chevrolet Silverado from the 1999-2005 model years. The investigation led to the arrest of Hamilton resident Aubrey Lawrence, 69, who has been charged with failing to remain at an accident resulting in death.
