Police in Durham Region say a man and his three-year-old daughter are dead after they were struck by a car in Pickering, Ont., on Tuesday night.

Police say they were called to the intersection of Brock Road and Taunton Road just before 8 p.m. for a report of a fail to remain collision.

They allege a woman was driving southbound through the intersection on a green light when her vehicle was struck by a Honda that was turning left and heading westbound.

Police say the Honda then continued west for 350 metres before it left the roadway and struck a guardrail, coming to a stop in a ditch.

They allege the driver, a 40-year-old man, left the Honda with his three-year-old daughter and tried to cross the street.

Police say a BMW struck them on the roadway, and both later died in hospital.

They say an investigation into the crash is ongoing.
