Toronto police have arrested a man they say abandoned an SUV after a hit-and-run crash left two women and a toddler in a stroller seriously injured in broad daylight on a Scarborough sidewalk last month.

In a Friday news release, police said they are still searching for the driver of the Dodge Journey SUV they say ran a red light, mounted the sidewalk and hit a 57-year-old woman, a 37-year-old woman and a 20-month-old boy in a stroller as they were standing at the intersection of Pharmacy Avenue and Ellesmere Road shortly before 11 a.m. on Oct. 13.

At the time, police said two occupants of the SUV left the vehicle and “walked around briefly” before fleeing, one occupant on foot, the other in the SUV, which left heading southbound on Pharmacy Avenue.

The two women and the child were taken to hospital with serious injuries. The boy’s injuries were described as “life-threatening” at the time, but police later said he was expected to recover.

Police arrested Jeremiah Cook, 40, of Toronto, on Thursday. He is accused of abandoning the vehicle following the hit-and-run and is facing six charges, including obstructing police, failing to stop or render assistance and two counts of failing to stop causing bodily harm.

Police say they are still searching for the driver of the SUV.

Derek DeSousa, 34, is wanted for two counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm, dangerous operation, failing to stop or render assistance and two counts of failing to stop causing bodily harm.

The daylight crash sparked outrage in the city last month.

In a series of tweets at the time, Mayor John Tory called the incident an “absolute tragedy” and said the city is working to reduce collisions, lower the speed limit and push for harsher consequences for such “irresponsible and reckless actions.”

Cook was scheduled to appear in court on Friday.

Anyone knowing his whereabouts, or with information, is asked to contact police at 416-808-1900, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477)
