A 22-year-old Niagara-on-the-Lake man is facing impaired driving and hit-and-run charges after a cyclist was killed in an overnight collision in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Niagara Regional Police say officers were called to Concession 6 Road near Line 4 Road at about 11:40 p.m. Friday after receiving reports that a cyclist had been struck by a vehicle.
Police said the cyclist died at the scene.
Investigators allege the driver left before emergency crews arrived and did not report the collision.
Police said officers from 2 District and the traffic enforcement unit later located the suspected vehicle and driver at another location in NOTL. The driver was arrested and the vehicle was seized for examination.
Gavin Devries, 22, of NOTL, is charged with failure to stop after an accident resulting in death and impaired operation causing death.
The charges have not been proven in court.
The investigation is continuing and is being led by the Niagara Regional Police collision reconstruction unit, with assistance from the forensic services unit.
Police are asking anyone who witnessed the collision or has dash camera or surveillance footage from the area around the time of the crash to contact investigators.
