Toronto police are looking for a hit-and-run driver after a man suffered life-threatening injuries Wednesday when he was “run over” by a pickup truck in the Junction neighbourhood.

Police were called to the area at around 5 p.m. In a Thursday news release, police said a 60-year-old man was in a laneway west of Indian Rd. Cres. and south of Dundas St. W. when he was struck by a dark-colour truck that was travelling west. The man was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Const. David Hopkinson said police received information that the man was lying in the laneway behind a building when he was hit.

The driver fled the scene, said police, but the truck was later located.

Toronto police’s Traffic Services unit is investigating.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-1900 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.
