A woman is in hospital after a hit-and-run in Scarborough Tuesday night.

The woman was hit sometime around 5:30 near the corner of Markham Road and Eglinton Avenue East. Police said she may have head injuries which appeared serious. She was transported to a trauma centre in serious condition, paramedics said.
