Peel police are trying to track down a vehicle that hit a 21-year-old man while he was crossing the street in Brampton Sunday morning (March 17) and fled the scene.

Const. Taryn Hill said that police are looking for a small beige compact car, possibly a Toyota or Honda, with damage to the front bumper.

The man was taken to a Toronto trauma centre by Peel paramedics in life-threatening condition after he was struck just after 4:30 a.m. on West Drive near Clark Boulevard in Brampton.

Witnesses and other residents took to social media to express their disgust with what transpired.
