Baby in life-threatening condition, two women seriously injured after hit-and-run in Scarborough
A 20-month-old baby is in life-threatening condition and has been rushed to hospital after being struck while standing on a sidewalk in a hit-and-run in Scarborough.

Two women were also hit and were taken to a trauma centre with serious injuries, however they are stable.

Police say the three pedestrians were struck near Ellesmere Road and Pharmacy at around 11 a.m.


Investigators have released a photo of who they believe is an occupant in the hit-and-run at Ellesmere Road and Pharmacy Avenue. It is believed that he is not the driver, but a passenger in the vehicle that fled on foot.


"Const. Alex Li said there may be some sort of damage on the vehicle, probably on the front end of the car. Investigators say they are unsure how hard the impact was.

The driver involved in the collision fled the scene, police said. Investigators say they are looking for a white male with a beard driving a Grey Dodge Journey.

Investigators have released a photograph of who they believe to be a passenger in the vehicle.

There is a full closure at Pharmacy Avenue and Ellesmere Road for a police investigation.

Police are asking anyone with security video or dashboard camera footage of the area to contact investigators or reach out to Crime Stoppers anonymously."

Wow. If the driver was in the same condition as he was in the attached (I’m assuming mug shots) pics, he was highly impaired. What a waste. Prayers going out for those injured.

Please just lock these pieces of garbage up for life, we don't have any use for them in a functioning society. Really, your first response after hitting two women and a baby is to get out of the car and run away? These are 40 year old "men", not some scared kids who MAY have garnered a tiny shred of sympathy. Just gross. Beyond rehabilitation. Moo.
