According to CityNews, the woman was crossing Lansdowne Avenue at Brandon Avenue on August 26 when she was struck by a southbound vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed. The vehicle fled the scene, prompting police to locate it two days later. However, the driver remained at large until September 11, when he turned himself in to police. Joao Cabral of Toronto has since been charged with multiple offenses, including failing to stop at the scene of an accident causing bodily harm, obstructing justice, careless driving causing bodily harm or death, and driving a motor vehicle without a license.",
