Parking lot incident sends Mississauga woman to hospital as investigation continues

A woman in Mississauga sustained injuries after an incident in a parking lot, according to prosecutors. Sunita Deoja and her friend Andrew Aps were in the parking lot, set to place old clothing in a donation bin near Winston Churchill Boulevard and Eglinton Avenue West, around 11 p.m. on August 30. Suddenly, a woman in an F-150 pickup truck approached them, accusing them of theft.

Deoja clarified they had donated the items, but the woman continued to record Deoja and her vehicle. Concerned about potential repercussions, Deoja approached the driver's side of the truck to explain her side of the story to the woman. However, the woman abruptly accelerated away, dragging Deoja and tossing her to the ground, leaving her unconscious.

Deoja sustained several injuries in the incident. The driver, who had initially claimed to be defending his property, is now facing charges.
