Hit and run leaves senior woman injured in Vancouver
Vancouver police are looking for a vehicle that they believe struck an 87-year-old woman in a west side crosswalk earlier this week, leaving her with serious injuries.
The Vancouver Police Department released an image of what’s believed to be a light-coloured, two-door Mercedes C Class sedan, possibly white, grey or silver, and the year estimated to be 2002 to 2008, in an effort to gain information.
The senior was crossing the intersection in the crosswalk at Dunbar Street and West 41st Avenue around 7:35 a.m. on Wednesday when police say a light-coloured sedan occupied by two people turning left onto Dunbar struck her. The driver didn’t stop or remain at the scene.
