An 82-year-old woman has died following a hit-and-run that happened in Toronto’s Harbourfront neighbourhood last month.

On July 27, authorities say they responded to a call about a collision near Brunel Court and Fort York Boulevard, just after 10 a.m.

According to police, the elderly woman was walking across a driveway when a white van allegedly struck her.

“The van did not remain on scene and was last seen driving towards Fort York Boulevard,” police wrote in a news release. “The woman was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.”

Authorities say she succumbed to her injuries in a hospital on Aug. 8.

Her death is now being investigated as a fatal private property collision by members of the City’s Traffic Services.

Investigators encourage anyone with information to contact the police.
