ORIGINAL

Around 9:15 p.m. last night, Thursday, August 27, 2020, we received a call regarding a man lying on the ground on Regent Street between York Street and Struthers Street.

Officers arrived on scene minutes later and found the man lying on the road. It appeared he had been struck by a vehicle and that the driver left in the vehicle prior to Police arrival.

The man was transported to hospital by City of Greater Sudbury Paramedic Services with serious injuries. The 30 year old man remains in hospital in serious but stable condition.

After speaking with several witnesses it has been determined that the driver stopped briefly after the collision occurred prior to leaving the scene. The vehicle is described as being a dark coloured SUV.

Investigators in our Traffic Management Unit are in the process of obtaining video surveillance of the incident and we are urging the involved driver to contact Police to assist with this investigation.

Anyone with information related to the collision is asked to contact Acting Sergeant Dave Hamilton at 705-675-9171 extension 2417.
