Nearly two months after an elderly cyclist was killed in a hit-and-run in east London, police have made an arrest.
A tip from the public led London police to the suspect vehicle on Monday. A 38-year-old London man was arrested in connection with the January 2 hit and run that claimed the life of Tae-Khun “Thomas” Ha. James Sutherland is charged with leaving a collision scene causing death.
Ha was cycling west on Dundas St. when he was hit by a vehicle that then took off around 5:45pm on January 2. The 85-year-old man died from his injuries five days later.
In the weeks that followed police twice issued pleas to the public for help finding the suspect vehicle, a 2011 to 2016 white Dodge Journey with damage to the passenger side and headlight area.
Sutherland is scheduled to appear in London court on Tuesday.
