Just before 12 noon on Saturday, a person driving a Jeep Patriot eastbound on St. Clair West struck a 26-year-old man who was walking at the intersection of Yonge Street. The driver then hit another person, a 65-year-old man who was walking on the other side of the intersection. The elderly man was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, but the driver took off. A short time later, the driver hit a 25-year-old man who was cycling at Jarvis Street and Maitland Place, further south. The cyclist was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police say they found the driver further south at Lower Jarvis and Queens Quay East. A 31-year-old man from Kitchener, Ont. has been arrested and faces multiple charges, including failure to stop at the scene of an accident causing bodily harm, disarming a police officer and failure to comply with a breath requirement. The man was expected to appear in court on Sunday morning. The investigation is ongoing.
