Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 29 Oct, 2024 05:11 PM

Mounties in Surrey are asking the public for dash-camera footage after a crash that sent a pedestrian to hospital with serious injuries.

R-C-M-P say it happened last night in the area of 188 Street and 60 Avenue, where the man was allegedly struck by the driver of an Audi Q-3 S-U-V.

Police say they believe alcohol was a contributing factor, and the driver, who remained at the scene, was arrested for dangerous driving causing bodily harm.

They say the driver was later released without charges as the investigation continues, but their vehicle was impounded.
