The SUV was leaving the parking lot and struck a red car that was stopped in the northbound turning lane for Heather Street.
Police say the white SUV took off "at a high rate of speed" on Bayfield Street before heading south on Highway 400.
The driver of the struck car was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say the SUV driver was a man with blonde hair, possibly between 20 to 30 years old. There may have been a second man in the passenger seat.
The front of the involved vehicle, which could be a General Motors product, should have significant front-end damage, police say.
