Mounties in Langley are asking for the public's help identifying the vehicle and driver involved in a hit-and-run that injured a pedestrian last November.

Langley R-C-M-P say officers responded to a report of a pedestrian in medical distress along 16th Avenue shortly after 3:30 a-m on November 9th.

Police have now identified the make and model of the suspect vehicle, saying they believe it is a black Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat edition from 2022-2023, and it would have damage to right-side mirror.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Mounties.
