Vehicle involved could be missing a passenger side view mirror and will have damage to the passenger side front corner.

An 84 year old man was airlifted to an out-of-town hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries following a hit and run in Niagara-on-the-Lake last night.  

Around 8:30 p.m. Niagara Regional Police officers found the injured elderly man lying in the north side of a drainage ditch on East West Line at Concession 2 while out on a routine patrol.
