A man has been arrested after a September hit-and-run killed a 97-year-old man, Toronto police say.

Police were called to the area of Warden Avenue, north of McNicoll Avenue at 6:30 a.m. on Sept. 6 after a report of a collision. They say an older man was crossing Warden on foot when a younger man, driving a Honda Civic, driving south on Warden, struck him.

The victim was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries. After more than two weeks, the victim died in hospital on Sept. 23.

Rajeev Menon, 29, of Toronto, was arrested on Friday, more than two months after the collision, and charged with failing to stop at the scene of an accident causing death, and careless driving causing death.

He was scheduled to appear in court Friday morning.
