Police say a car involved in a hit-and-run that resulted in the death of a Cambridge driver was travelling at "extreme speeds" and they are now on the hunt for the driver, who fled the scene on foot.
A 29-year-old man from Cambridge was killed in the collision after his car was struck by a white Audi S5 on Highway 401 at Mavis Road in Mississauga on Saturday at 2:20 a.m.
