Surrey RCMP want the public's help in identifying the driver of a vehicle that hit an 85-year-old man then allegedly fled from the scene of the collision, leaving the senior seriously injured.
According to the press release, a police officer was conducting a traffic stop in the 2600 block of 92nd Avenue on April 6 at 5:45 p.m. when he heard a noise. That's when RCMP say the officer saw a silver car driving away, heading east on 92nd Avenue. The officer then saw a person lying on the road.
The police say the officer tried to stop the fleeing vehicle however it failed to stop. The silver car was last seen travelling northbound on 128th Street through the intersection at 96th Avenue.
On Wednesday, police said the victim is in stable condition and recovering.
Investigators have released a photo of the car involved in the hit and run as it went through a red light at 96th Avenue and 128th Street. It's a four-door Honda Civic and likely a 2013 to 2015 model.
Police also say the car will likely have damage to its front end.
"As the investigation continues to advance, we are appealing for the driver responsible to contact our investigators," said Cpl. Bert Paquet of the Surrey RCMP.
