Emergency crews were called to Tomken and Britannia roads at around 5:35 a.m. Thursday for reports of a pedestrian-involved collision.
Police said a vehicle struck a woman and then drove off.
Peel Paramedics said they transported a woman to a local hospital where she later died. They initially said she was “elderly” but a later update from police confirmed she was actually 20 years old.
