Hit and Run on 401 near Islington
Hi all,
It's a longshot but I figured I might give it a chance! My dad was driving westbound on the 401 on the morning of May 13th on his way to work, when a white vehicle driving beside him went into his lane and hit him from the side. My dad spun through several lanes of traffic until he finally managed to regain control of the car. The individual who hit him just sped off. His car is a very old Toyota and is most certainly a write-off, although driveable.
I have tried to reach out to OPP to see if they would investigate, but they said there is nothing they can do as there is no dashcam footage or license plate information. I asked if they could check cameras, and they said no. This is absolutely insane to me and I don't really understand the reasoning as he could have been killed by the giant transport trucks that frequent that area.
Is there any way to maybe obtain camera footage myself? Or did anyone happen to be driving in that area when it happened? So sorry if this sounds stupid, I am just at a loss for words that this is now my father's problem and the police won't do anything at all.
Thank you in advance, any and all advice is welcome
