:dateline:Police are looking for a hit-and-run driver after a[n] elderly [Sikh] man was struck and killed in Brampton Monday morning.
The man was struck at about 4 a.m. as he was walking on Timberlane Drive, near McLaughlin Road and Highway 407. The driver of the vehicle did not remain at the scene.
The man’s relatives identified him as Joginder Singh, 80.
Neighbours said he was going to a nearby Sikh temple [Gurdwara] to pray, as he usually does every morning. They said he lived on the street with his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
“I think it’s terrible. At least they could have called for help instead of just leaving him to die in the middle of the road,” said Antoine Blackwood, who lives on the street.
Peel Regional Police said the elderly man was crossing the street when he was hit.
Police are searching for a what they are describing as a dark-coloured vehicle that may have sustained some damage.
