A 26-year-old man is facing charges after an alleged hit-and-run at a streetcar stop in downtown Toronto left another man clinging to life in hospital.
It happened just before 2 a.m. on Sunday at the corner of College Street and Spadina Avenue, where police say a 21-year-old man was waiting at the stop, which is on a median and protected by a glass barrier.
They say the suspect vehicle, a dark-coloured SUV, was driving westbound when it jumped the curb and struck the shelter and the pedestrian.
The victim was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition, where he remains.
Police say the driver fled the scene, but was subsequently identified by investigators and turned himself in on Friday morning.
He’s charged with dangerous driving causing bodily harm and leaving the scene of an accident causing bodily harm.
