A 59-year-old pedestrian died in hospital after a hit-and-run in Etobicoke Wednesday night, according to Toronto police.
The incident happened around 5:10 p.m. in the area of Second Street and Lake Shore Blvd. West.
Police said the driver of a dark Ford pickup truck was traveling west on Lake Shore West Boulevard and turned right north onto Second Street.
As the driver made the turn, a man was crossing Second Street from west to east on the north side of Lake Shore Boulevard West, according to police.
The driver subsequently hit the man and he was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he later died from his injuries, police said.
The pickup truck fled the scene and was last seen traveling north on Second Street, police said.
On Thursday, police released an image of the pickup truck. No suspect information has been released.
Investigators are asking anyone who may have surveillance or dash cam footage of the area or the incident to contact them at 416-808-1900 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
Toronto police responded to at least three serious collisions involving pedestrians Wednesday night, including two separate crashes in North York.
Police noted that rain and reduced visibility last night created dangerous driving conditions.
