MARKHAM, Ont. — Police north of Toronto say they've charged a woman in a hit-and-run on Monday that left a cyclist dead.
York Regional Police say they received a call at around 8:15 a.m. and found a 50-year-old cyclist suffering from life-threatening injuries in Markham, Ont.
They say the man died in hospital.
A woman was arrested after police say surveillance video showed her vehicle with damage and officers found that she allegedly made a false police report about a crash.
Investigators say 25-year-old Alexandra Forrestall is facing charges of failure to stop at a collision causing death, obstruction and public mischief.
Forrestall is scheduled to appear in court on October 1.
