A young Scots woman has tragically died in Canada after a horror hit and run.
Erin Yoxall, 30, was mowed down by a white Mercedes convertible around 3.15am on Thursday April 14.
Emergency services raced to the incident in the Spadina Avenue area of Toronto and Erin was rushed to hospital with serious injuries.
She could not be saved and sadly passed away in hospital on Saturday.
Her heartbroken mum Roseanne Yoxall told local media outlet Global News the family's grief was "torture".
She added: “(The driver) stopped, they got out, they looked at her and they got back in the car.
“Drive to the conditions — it was early in the morning — does that give you the right to speed? No.
“Words fail. Whatever I say to (the driver) won’t bring Erin back.”
Erin was working as a research assistant at the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence and had been living in Canada for eight years.
Roseanne said all of her daughter's organs would be donated as she hoped it would enrich the lives of “numerous families".
Canadian police continue to hunt the driver who fled the scene at speed.
Officers located the vehicle involved in the incident yesterday and are urging the driver to find a lawyer and hand himself into police.
Anyone with information is being urged to contact local police or Crimestoppers.
