Vancouver – Vancouver Police are investigating a hit-and-run collision that left an 87-year-old woman seriously injured early this morning.
At approximately 7:35 a.m., the pedestrian was crossing Dunbar Street at West 41st Avenue in a marked crosswalk when she was struck by a vehicle.
Investigators believe a driver in a white sedan was turning left from West 41st Avenue onto Dunbar Street when the car collided with the pedestrian, knocking her to the ground. The driver did not stop to assist the woman or remain at the scene as required by law.
The vehicle is described as a white sedan occupied by two people, and it was last seen travelling southbound on Dunbar Street toward S.W. Marine Drive.
The pedestrian remains in hospital with serious injuries.
The Vancouver Police Collision Investigation Unit is asking anyone who witnessed the collision, or who was driving in the area around the time of the crash and may have dash-cam footage, to contact investigators at 604-717-3012 or by emailing VPDCIU@vpd.ca.
