UPDATE: Elderly man killed in hit and run

Windsor police say a 70-year-old man was killed in a hit and run around 7 a.m. Friday morning.

Police were called to Elliott Street West between Bruce Avenue and Janette Avenue for a person laying in the roadway. Officers found a man with life threatening injuries.  He was taken to hospital and later succumbed to his injuries.

An investigation was launched and officers canvassed the area for any witnesses, surveillance video and any possible evidence.

Although the incident is believed to have occurred at approximately 7 a.m., investigators are asking surveillance footage be checked from at least 6:30 a.m. - 7:10 a.m., as the exact time of the incident is unknown. Any surveillance cameras capturing vehicular traffic flow in the immediate area would constitute evidence and investigators would like to view the footage.

Investigators continue to ask anyone in the area with surveillance video to check their footage for possible evidence.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Windsor Police Service at 519-255-6700 ext. 4000 or 4830, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.catchcrooks.com
