A woman is facing impaired driving charges after she allegedly fatally struck a cyclist and tried to flee the scene of the crash in Brampton, Ont.
Peel Regional Police allege the woman hit the male cyclist at an intersection of Fairlawn Boulevard and Humberwest Parkway shortly after 9:30 a.m. on Monday.
Const. Sarah Patten alleges the woman then left the scene in her car, driving on the wrong side of the road before sideswiping another vehicle and coming to a stop.
Patten says the woman, who is in her late 20s or early 30s, then attempted to flee on foot before being located by police a short distance from the scene of the accident.
The cyclist, also in his late 20s or early 30s, was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition, where he later died of his injuries.
The woman was arrested and was charged for impaired driving, Patten said. No other passengers were in the vehicle at the time of the collision, she added.
"Further charges are expected to be laid," Patten said.
The major collision bureau is expected to attend the scene and take over the investigation.
Any witnesses are being asked to contact police.
