A 52-year-old woman is in critical condition at a trauma centre after being struck by a vehicle in Mississauga, Peel police say.

Const. Iryna Yashnyk, a police media relations officer, said reports came in around 7:15 p.m. of a pedestrian struck near Winston Churchill Boulevard and Crosscurrent Drive.

The driver of the vehicle failed to remain on the scene, according to Yashnyk.

Police say the suspect vehicle is a black SUV with damage to the driver's side.

Investigators are appealing to the driver to contact a lawyer and follow up with police.

​Police say Winston Churchill Boulevard is closed between Derry Road and Argentia Road as the force's Major Collision Bureau investigates.

"We're hoping any witnesses can contact our major collisions bureau," she said.
