Niagara Regional Police said the man from Port Colborne was walking on Silver Bay Rd. in the city when he was hit some time between 10 p.m. and midnight on Saturday.
Investigators said that when the man did not return home, his family searched the area and he was found critically injured in a ditch near some damaged vehicle parts.
Emergency services were called at 4:36 a.m. on Sunday and treated the victim, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police believe the SUV-style vehicle that hit the man is dark in colour and they are asking anyone with information or video footage of the area to contact them.
Investigators said the vehicle will have damage to the front left corner including the left headlight, fender and possibly the grill.
