Wanted man went west?

A man wanted in connection with a fatal automotive crash in Toronto is believed to be in Vancouver.

A 71-year-old man riding a motorcycle was struck by a black Dodge Challenger and killed Friday night in Toronto's east end.

The man driving the Challenger fled the area on foot.

Now, 29-year-old Marc Laurin has been charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death, failing to stop after a collision, and being unlawfully at large. A Canada-wide arrest warrant has been issued for his arrest.

"He is believed to be violent and dangerous," the Vancouver Police Department said Thursday. "If you see him, call 911 and do not approach."

Police describe Laurin as a 5-foot-6, 160-pound man with a medium build, short, black hair and an unshaven face. He was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, dark pants and a dark blazer.
