''According to investigators, a pedestrian was crossing from east to west at the intersection of Victoria Park Avenue and Ellesmere Road when the driver of a dark-coloured Honda Civic, traveling westbound on Ellesmere Road, made a left turn onto Victoria Park Avenue and struck them.
They said that immediately following the collision the driver exited their vehicle and helped the pedestrian inside before fleeing the area at a high rate of speed.
The driver of the Honda was last seen heading southbound on Victoria Park Avenue.
Police said that the vehicle has an Ontario licence plate with the partial number CDMA or CBMA as well as “notable” damage to the front.
“We don't know if the pedestrian was able to get medical care and we have been looking in hospitals to see if anybody has been struck by a vehicle that we can speak to,” Toronto police spokesperson Const. Ashley Visser said.''

I want to think the driver was so caring and concerned that they loaded the struck person up to take them to the hospital but who knows anymore. The fact that it was just before 2am leads away from that thought...

locals, what's the area like?

ETA: looks like a fairly typical busy intersection
