Vancouver Police are investigating a downtown pedestrian hit-and-run in which a 42-year-old woman suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The Story
The Vancouver Police Department is asking for witnesses following a pedestrian hit-and-run that sent a 42-year-old woman to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say the collision occurred at about 8 p.m. last night while the woman was crossing Seymour Street.
Investigators say she was struck by a vehicle travelling westbound on Hastings Street, was thrown into the intersection, and the driver did not remain at the scene.
Officers located the suspect vehicle a short time later and arrested the driver.
Police say the investigation is ongoing, noting it is the third collision in Vancouver this week involving a pedestrian, including one fatality and two others with significant injuries.
The VPD also said it is the second hit-and-run in that week and that earlier this week it launched Project Vigilance, a traffic-safety enforcement campaign focused on reducing collisions during the dark and rainy season.
Anyone with information about the incident, or with dash-cam or surveillance footage from the area, is asked to contact police.
