Mill Woods hit and run leaves man with 'life-altering' injuries

Edmonton police are looking for a dark grey pick-up truck involved in a hit and run in Mill Woods that left a man with serious injuries Thursday afternoon.

Police spokesperson Scott Pattison described the victim's injuries as "life-altering."

Police arrived at the scene on 19th Avenue at 49th Street in the neighbourhood of Pollard Meadows at around 4:45 p.m., where they found a 20-year-old man lying in the street with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

"He was able to speak with police, upon arrival on scene, for a short period of time," Pattison said Friday.

Witnesses say the man had been standing on the south sidewalk of 19th Avenue speaking with the driver of a parked vehicle before running across the road.

He was hit by an eastbound truck, which then drove off.

The driver of the parked vehicle also left the scene, Pattison said. "They didn't stay to administer any first-aid."

.Police have since obtained surveillance images of what they believe is the truck.

It's described as a dark grey GMC Sierra or Chevy Silverado with tinted tail light covers and a black front bumper.

Police say they want to speak to anyone with more information about the hit and run, including the whereabouts of the grey truck and its driver, as well as the driver of the parked vehicle.
