Police have charged a man in a fatal hit-and-run in downtown Toronto.

A 58-year-old pedestrian, who was later identified by her son as Suzanne Pak, was struck by a vehicle early Wednesday morning.

Police said she was crossing Sherbourne Street, south of Dundas Street, at approximately 1 a.m. when she was hit. The driver then fled the scene.

Police said Friday that Tomas Velazco Pinedo, 31, faces charges of impaired driving causing death, criminal negligence causing death, dangerous driving causing death, failing to stop and attempting to obstruct justice.

On Thursday, police said a four-door graphite lustre metallic 2012 Acura TL was seized with the assistance of Honda Canada.

Const. Clint Stibbe previously told CTV Toronto that given the impact from the crash, the driver of the vehicle likely knew Pak was struck.

"(There’s) absolutely no way they wouldn’t know with the amount of debris that was left behind as well as the damage the vehicle sustained … and the type of impact it would have had," Stibbe said.
