Pedestrian Fatally Struck in Richmond Hill

Investigators with the York Regional Police Major Collision Investigation Unit are appealing for witnesses following a pedestrian fatally struck by two vehicles, one which failed to remain at the scene, in the City of Richmond Hill. 

On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at approximately 9:20 p.m., officers attended the area of Yonge Street and Tower Hill Road for reports of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle. On scene, a male was located on the roadway suffering from critical injuries.

Despite life saving efforts by first responders, the male, a 27-year-old of no fixed address, was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Investigators have determined that the male was first struck by a northbound vehicle, causing him to end up in the southbound lanes. A southbound vehicle then struck the male and failed to remain at the scene. The first vehicle and its driver remained on scene. 

No vehicle description was obtained for the second vehicle.

No charges have been laid and the investigation remains ongoing.

Investigators are appealing to any witnesses who have not yet spoken with police, as well as anyone with dashcam footage form the area around the time of the collision, to contact investigators.
