York Regional Police say they have arrested a driver wanted in connection with a hit-and-run collision that killed a 70-year-old pedestrian out for a walk in East Gwillimbury, Ont. about five months ago.
On Sept. 28, 2022, at around noon, police said officers found a man on Davis Drive, near Warden Avenue, who was pronounced dead and had appeared to have been struck by a vehicle.
The elderly man was last seen the day before at around 9 p.m. when he left his residence for a walk, police said.
According to the owner-operator of Newmarket Residence — a home for adults with mental health issues — Icilda Tate, a man from the residence was reported missing on Wednesday when he didn’t return. The residence is around one kilometre from where the collision occurred.
