Woman killed in presumed hit and run in industrial area of Mississauga

A woman was killed in an industrial area of Mississauga Tuesday night in what police are investigating as a hit-and-run collision.

Emergency services were initially dispatched to the scene near the corner of Tomken Road and Meyerside Drive shortly before 8 p.m., said Peel police Const. Akhil Mooken.

They had been called by a motorist who discovered the woman laying on Tomken Road with life-threatening injuries. The motorist who found her administered CPR and called 911, Mooken said.

When paramedics arrived, the woman was rushed to hospital, where she died shortly after. Mooken had no further information about the victim.

While investigators cannot "say for certain" that she was injured in a hit and run, they are currently treating the case as one, Mooken said.

Anyone with information or dashcam footage that might be helpful to investigators is asked to contact Peel police or Crime Stoppers.
