Hamilton police are investigating after a man was struck and killed by a vehicle Monday night in the city’s west end.

At approximately 8:47 p.m., Hamilton Emergency Services were called to the area of York Boulevard and Old Guelph Road, responding to a report of a vehicle striking a pedestrian.

Upon arriving on scene, authorities found a 25-year-old man who was transported to hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries. He later died of his injuries.
