Halton police are trying to track down a driver who struck a man on a scooter in Oakville last month.

Police say the victim was operating a motorized scooter in the area of Bronte Rd. and Lakeshore Rd. West around 3 p.m. on July 20.

As the man entered the pedestrian crossing, police say he was struck by a car that was turning westbound onto Lakeshore Rd. West.

“The impact knocked the male off his scooter and into the intersection,” said Halton police in a news release. “The driver of the motor vehicle did stop and assisted the male in getting back onto the scooter and safely off the roadway.”

Police say the driver then left the area but no personal information was exchanged.

The man was later transported to hospital via ambulance with serious injuries.

Police are now trying to identify the driver of the vehicle, which is described as a two-door red Volkswagen.

Anyone with information that could help police is asked to contact 905-825-4777, ext. 2210.
