North Vancouver RCMP are looking for Lynnmour area witnesses after a driver struck a pedestrian in a hit-and-run Saturday.
Emergency responders descended on Main Street at Mountain Highway just after 7:15 p.m. to attend to a 61-year-old man who had been struck, though the driver had already fled the scene. Witnesses reported that a dark-coloured pickup truck left the scene after hitting the pedestrian, according to North Vancouver RCMP.
The victim was taken to Lions Gate Hospital to be treated for internal injuries and has since been released.
Investigators are canvassing nearby businesses in hopes of generating leads in the case. “We’re making headway but it’s still an active investigation,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman.
Anyone who might have seen the incident or suspect vehicle is asked to contact North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311.
