In a concerning turn of events in Cambridge, police have apprehended a suspect following a hit-and-run incident that left a 57-year-old man seriously injured. The accident occurred on Dunbar Road, where a vehicle reportedly struck the pedestrian, subsequently identified by witnesses as a construction worker, who was then dragged by the vehicle. Authorities transported the man to an out-of-region hospital to address his severe injuries.

An eyewitness recounted the harrowing scene to CityNews 570, enhancing the urgency of the investigation as police continue to piece together the details of the incident. The identity of the victim has yet to be confirmed by the police, adding an element of mystery to the already tense situation.
