Vancouver Police are investigating a serious collision that sent a pedestrian to hospital on the weekend, and are asking anyone who saw what happened to call police.

The 70-year-old victim was crossing West Georgia Street at Cardero on July 22 at 9 a.m. when he was hit in the crosswalk by a dark blue Mini Cooper travelling east on West Georgia. The victim was taken to hospital where he remains in recovery.
