In a concerning incident early Wednesday morning, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are investigating a hit-and-run collision that occurred on Highway 401 in Cambridge, Ontario. At approximately 12:30 a.m. on September 24, 2025, officers from the Mississauga Detachment of the Highway Safety Division responded to reports of a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle that did not remain at the scene.

It is believed that the pedestrian was clipped by the side mirror of the vehicle as it drove past, leading to the unfortunate incident. Thankfully, the individual sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was promptly transported to the hospital for treatment.

As a precautionary measure, the highway was temporarily closed to facilitate the investigation, but it has since reopened to traffic. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of road safety for both drivers and pedestrians, particularly in busy urban areas like Cambridge.

The OPP are urging the driver of the vehicle involved in the collision to come forward and assist with the investigation. Additionally, they are appealing to the public for help. Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or possesses dashcam footage from around the time of the collision is encouraged to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122. For those who prefer to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers is available at 1-800-222-8477.
