Fatal hit-and-run in Mississauga
Peel Regional Police are also seeking the driver of a white Mercedes sedan after a pedestrian was struck and killed early Sunday morning in the Erin Mills area of Mississauga. Officers responded to the crash at approximately 6 a.m. in the Erin Mills Parkway and Eglinton Avenue West area.
