Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 20 Oct, 2023 10:13 AM

Mounties in North Vancouver say they are looking for witnesses and footage as they investigate a hit-and-run that left a pedestrian with serious injuries on Wednesday night.

North Vancouver R-C-M-P say they were called to the scene after passersby found a North Vancouver man in his late 40s lying injured on the road.

Officers say the man was taken to hospital, but the suspect vehicle had already fled the scene when they arrived.

Constable Mansoor Sahak says the investigation is still fresh and investigators are seeking witnesses and dashcam footage from the area of Marine and Capilano Road just after 9 p-m on October 18th.
